Epson EPL-5900L doesn not work under KNOPPIX ? (tried 3.6)

[barci]

Well, ive tried to run the printer above under Knoppix.

I found the site
http://epsonepl.sourceforge.net/?page=help

Read the howto, recognised, that for debian, i have to comile the driver.
No errors so far, but it DOES not WORK !!!! (Memmory error: (german: Speicherzugriffsfehler)javascript:emoticon(':evil: ')
Evil or Very Mad)

Any idea ?

(This is the only reason, why i have to run windows too !!!)

As i wrote under
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1171940&forum_id=236646, i did the following:
(EXACT Description)

- Knoppix 3.6 (debian linux kernel 2.6.1 or 2.6.2 or 2.6
doensnt matter)
- Compiling (seems okay to me)
- Memory error after executing (see below)

The next with method describes in
http://www.weejoker.demon.co.uk/epsonepl.html

.1 Download the latest tarball from the EpsonEPL project
website. At the time of writing this is version 0.2.0.

Once downloaded, extract the tarball with:


$ tar xfvz epsoneplijs-x.x.tgz





1.2 Compling the driver is straight-forward, although the
'gcc' package needs to be present:

$ cd epsoneplijs-x.x
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install



Providing all went well, you must now copy the
'ijs_server_epsonepl' to a suitable directory for the 'lp'
user (which CUPS uses for printing) and admin users within
the 'lpadmin' group. I chose '/usr/bin':


$ cp ijs_server_epsonepl /usr/bin/
$ chmod 750 /usr/bin/ijs_server_epsonepl
$ chown lp:lpadmin /usr/bin/ijs_server_epsonepl





1.3 Now that the driver is in place, a brief test can take
place using the provided 'ps2epl' presuming you are within
the 'lpadmin' group, have the printer connected to the
parallel port and any PostScript (*.ps) file.

$ ./ps2epl epl_test.ps /dev/lp0



root@Box:~/Desktop/epsoneplijs-0.4.0# ./ps2epl
epl_test.ps

The meaning of "Speicherzugriffsfehler" is, that the
programm tries to direct to memory, which does not exist !! :evil: :evil: :evil:
