printing

I have Package cups - 1:1.3.3-3.fc8.i386 installed.
I have an Epson Stylus Photo R340 but the only cups driver for it Epson Stylus Photo 750.
It won't print. :-(
I suspect cups is old. :-(

http://localhost:631/
gives a file not found error.

 

Yes, the cups that comes with Linpus is dated. Fortunately, that's one of the programs that has no problems with being updated through yum

sudo yum -y update fedora-release

(The above may not be necessary with newer purchases, I'm not sure.)
sudo yum -y update cups

It should definitely help. Also, you won't get the file not found error for localhost:631 after the update.

 

That fixed the file not found but how do I get new drivers?
My Epson Stylus Photo R340 has no driver on this machine (I know it is supported).

 

Install Gutenprint.

 

gutenprint didn't help.
It still only sees the 'Epson Stylus Photo 750' driver. :-(

 

Go to http://localhost:631/ (in a web browser) -> "Administration", and try changing the printer driver or delete and readd the printer.
