Configuration of stylus cx 3200

Asked by Miguel Tadeu

I was trying to configure my epson stylus cx 3200. Had a nice experience when I configured it with edgy. The system detected the printer correctly, which is connected via usb. The next step is the driver....for my surprise, the driver for this printer does not exist anymore. Is there an similar driver for this printer? What should I do? The driver used to exist in edgy.

Which release of Ubuntu are you using?
I can see your printer listed among the drivers you can select when adding a printer ("Stylus CX3200", after all the "Stylus Color" printers in the list), here with Ubuntu 7.04 "Feisty Fawn".

I'm using kubuntu 7.04. You are right...here at work I do have the driver. On 2 other fresh instalations I don't have. I'll check another fresh install in a few hours. There is a significant difference between my work pc and my home pc. At home I made a fresh install, at work an upgrade. Is it possible that the driver remained from 6.10? Can you confirm if you upgraded too?

AFAIK, the driver in [,K,X,Ed,...]ubuntu come from the cupsys-driver-gutenprint package.
You can try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure cupsys-driver-gutenprint", or reinstalling the package ("sudo apt-get install cupsys-driver-gutenprint --reinstall", or through Adept), and see if that changed something.

This is a known bug, see bug #99372 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase/+bug/99372).
A workaround is to install your printer with the CUPS web interface from your browser: http://localhost:631/

I tryed Damiano's tip...using "sudo dpkg-reconfigure cupsys-driver-gutenprint" did nothing, so I decided to try reinstalling the package, using "sudo apt-get install cupsys-driver-gutenprint --reinstall". The result was a total clean up of the driver list. Non shows up now.
