Epson ESC/P2 printer

Applicable to an Epson ESC/P2 printer
S.u.S.E. version: 4.3, 4.4
Kernel version: all
XFree86 version: all

Symptom: epscp2 driver does not exist

During the configuration of a ESC/P2 printer (as the Epson LQ-100) by YaST, the ghostscript driver epscp2, mentioned in the S.u.S.E. Linux handbook E.1.1, does not appear. By calling gs -h this device is not announced either.

Cause:

This device does not exist anymore in version 4.03 of Aladdin Ghostscript. You should use st800 instead. The Stylus 800 is a ESC/P2 printer as well.

Solution:

Use the driver st800 for your ESC/P2 printer.
