Searching around, I wonder if I could use lpadmin to do the same job?
Would something like this work?
/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p epson -E -v parallel /dev/lp0 -m <probablyEpsonSomething>.ppd
If so, what's the correct .ppd file?
The command 'locate .ppd | grep 890' (to find files relating to my Epson Stylus Photo 890) came up with:
/usr/share/cups/model/C/escp2-890.ppd.gz
/usr/share/cups/model/C/pcl-890.ppd.gz
/usr/share/cups/model/gutenprint/5.0/C/stp-pcl-890.5.0.sim.ppd.gz
/usr/share/cups/model/gutenprint/5.0/C/stp-escp2-890.5.0.ppd.gz
/usr/share/cups/model/gutenprint/5.0/C/stp-escp2-890.5.0.sim.ppd.gz
/usr/share/cups/model/gutenprint/5.0/C/stp-escp2-pma890.5.0.ppd.gz
/usr/share/cups/model/gutenprint/5.0/C/stp-escp2-pma890.5.0.sim.ppd.gz
/usr/share/cups/model/gutenprint/5.0/C/stp-pcl-890.5.0.ppd.gz
/usr/share/ppd/HP/HP-DeskJet_890C-hpijs.ppd.gz
The last one's obviously a rogue element!
They've all got .ppd in them, but what's .gz?
I think I've probably got all the files I need, but don't know how to link them together properly.
