Epson Stylus 680 completely blocks OS when printing (SOLVED)
Posted: Tue Sep 16, 2008 9:42 pm
Hello
I'm writing to post a problem I could not find a solution for. I have an Epson Stylus Color 680. I successfully installed it (mint perfectly recognized it and installed the free drivers) but the fact is that when I try to print something, the whole OS gets blocked -it's like a kernel panic but with no message- (I can't even reset it by ALT+ImprPant+ R E I S U B). I just click on the print icon and it blocks (it happens with printing test, pdf docs., .odt, pics....) is this a bug?? If it is, can you please tell me how to fix it? If not, what can I do to solve it??
Thanks you!!
P.S. Before installing Mint I used to have both Debian and Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon and the printer perfectly worked under both. At the moment Linux Mint 5.0 is my only operating system.
