Would someone please point me in the right direction for getting my
Epson Stylus Color II to work with Redhat 4.1.  I'm new to the Linux
world, and used to doing this by just installing a new driver -- in OS/2
or Windows -- as needed.  What do I do in Linux?  Where do I find the
"filter" or whatever it is I need?  Once I have it, what do I do.  I've
read what I could find about this, but I'm still at sea.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Bill:

My experience with Linux is limited but RedHat has a fabulous utility in X
that allows you to install a printer and troubleshoot it in a windows
environment.

Type 'startx' and it should fire right up (provided you installed the X
windowing system and correctly answered the installation questions
concerning your video card and monitor).

There should be a utility running when X starts that allows you to install
and configure your printer - warning - newer printers may not have
'filters' available. You may have to wait - perhaps look at downloading the
latest printer filters from RedHat (www.redhat.com).

Your printer should have some compatibility modes with lesser functionality
(B&W printing) that may be represented in the printer configuration list.

Lots of luck.

Regards,

Brian.
