Hey Leon,

This was an upgrade from Jaunty, I’m not sure whether a fresh install would work correctly (I’m guessing it might).

Thanks for the offer, but no need to hack at the KDE print config because it was a GNOME related thing In fact, I guess that I could install KDE print manager and test to see if it’s GNOME only, or some wider problem. Either way the problem is solved for now thanks to the CUPS server

Sorry, RTFM, you have.

I can have a hack at the KDE print config if you like?

Karmic Koala Kubuntu seems to be fine here. Driving my Epson CX5500 printer/scanner flawlessly from a free desktop machine (256MB/30GB).

Have you tried hitting the CUPS service directly?
