Comments

Note that you *MUST* turn off the so-called "D4" mode of the parallel interface of this printer in order to get it to work. To turn off the D4 mode, follow these instructions (from http://files.support.epson.com/pdf/sc760_/sc760_f1.txt):

Turn on the printer while holding down the Cleaning button (under the inkdrop icons) The paper-out light (under the "paper" icons) will start blinking. Release the Cleaning button and *IMMEDIATELY* press and hold the Load/Eject button (under the "paper" icon) and hold it for about 20 seconds. The Paper Out, Color Ink Out, and Black Ink Out LEDs will light. Release the Load/Eject button. Press the Cleaning Button until the Black Ink Out LED lights. This means D4 mode is off. Press the Load/Eject button and you're done.

I used the epson740 upp ghostscript driver, and wrote a quick magicfilter config (stylus760-filter), available here to use that driver. Then I plopped it into /etc/magicfilter, ran /usr/sbin/magicfilterconfig, and chose the stylus760 filter.

Everything works except I couldn't figure out how to convince magicfilter to add an EOF character after every print-job, so the pages are not ejected by themselves. Sorry :) Hopefully someone else can figure this out. I've added another magicfilter, that I have written, it fixes the eject bug at the cost of removing recode support, download it

------------

Actually it works great for me even with D4 mode in auto mode (the default).

Ed: Probably works best with the stp driver.

Consumables/Refills: cartridge
