I am using Canon BJC-2000, Epson Stilyplus (color) 880 with SuSE 8. They are working properly with black ink. But they can not printing with color, so they printing always with black color. How can I print with color ink ? Thank you very much in advance. --- Anthony Moulen <[email protected]> wrote: > On Tuesday 21 May 2002 01:49 am, Brian Durant wrote: > > On Tuesday 21 May 2002 11:53, John Ross Hunt > wrote: > > - I tried CUPS but it kept seg-faulting on me so I > switched to LPRng and > > - haven't had any problems since.
