CUPS and Epson C80 installation

[saint_abroad]

K6-2 with 256MB RAM
2+4GB HDDs
Gentoo and Gnome2
Epson C80 USB/Parport

After a rather bad windows crash I finally decided to get linux up and running on my computer. Its going quite successfully as there is plenty of documentation, however, I cant find anything on installing an Epson C80 printer in Gentoo.

I have read the Gentoo docs on printing with CUPS and GIMP, and am kinda stuck near the beginning on finding/installing drivers - I cant find an emerge package for epson drivers. I know there are people out there with Gentoo and the Epson C80 up and running, so if you could point me in the right direction, it'd be a great help.

Thanks,

I think that http://www.linuxprinting.org may have what you need.

I had a brief look there on my documentation scavenges but that suggests I would have to build some drivers myself, and this area is uncertain to me as I am only a 2-week linux newbie. (However, I learn fast )

The main reason I want a Gentoo package is because dependacies are all a bit alien to me and this solves it nicely. Would I have to worry about dependencies or could I follow their instructions without breaking anything?

gimp-print is the driver you're looking for:

emerge gimp-print
emerge gimp-print-cups

And then you're on your merry way to configuring cups.

Thanks, just looked into gimp-print some more and that's the answer. (D'oh, thought I'd have to explicitly load a driver). I should be able to get it up and running now.

Thanks for your time,
