any one having problems with Epson Printers in Lucid

Can you give the ouput of:

lsusb

as well as the model of EPSON the printer is. This is important.

I also experienced the same thing, after installing Lucid ( final release)
The Epson T20E printer model can be detected but can not print anything.
I have followed the advice to update to the proposed repos, but the problem still remains.

lsusb :

Bus 002 Device 002: ID 04b8:0005 Seiko Epson Corp. Stylus D88+

Output from lsusb

Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 006: ID 0c12:0005 Zeroplus PSX Vibration Feedback Converter
Bus 003 Device 005: ID 062a:0000 Creative Labs Optical mouse
Bus 003 Device 004: ID 0a5c:2101 Broadcom Corp. A-Link BlueUsbA2 Bluetooth
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 04b8:081b Seiko Epson Corp. MFP Composite Device
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

My PSX joystick works, The optical mouse works and the Bluetooth is also fully operational.

Sorry, Epson Model is a Epson Stylus Photo R240 .

Just a minute, You say its a Stylus Photo R240 but the lsusb says it is a Stylus D88+

Can you please clarify which it is.

Thanks

Actionpartnership was your question about what was the output of lsusb amied at me or Djoko. I started this post, which is why I thought it was aimed at me. My printer is a Stylus Photo R240.
 Hope this clears this up exactly what printer I have.

Djoko, your printer is a different printer so please log your own question to save confusion.

Seems your printer isn't detected as it would show up in the lsusb output, was the printer turned on and connected when you ran the command? Have you tried a different USB port?

In answer to your questions Yes to both. The printer has worked OK with Ubuntu for the last year and a half. This has only stated since I switched to the final release of Lucid Lynx.

Ok, disconnect the printer, wait 10 seconds, plug it back in, wait 10 seconds then run:

dmesg | tail -n 15

What is output?

Full output is as below.

I am having the same problem with my printer since upgrading to 10.04. It is an Epson S20 which worked perfectly under 9.10 and still works fine under Windows. It shows up on the system, but when you tell it to print something Ubuntu behaves like it is printing (i.e. says 'printing file 1234, 79% complete' etc.) but doesn't actually appear to send anything to the printer.

what windows does is of no interest. The fact it works on 9.10 is useful to us however.

I'd log a bug with the driver.

You can see the tips of Jonny Rodriguez at https: / / bugs.launchpad.net / ubuntu / + bug/576058/comments/11, I follow it and can print on Epson T20E Lucid.
Maybe this is a bug from the cups-gutenprint 5.2.5, as Jonny said
