Anybody tried gimp-print-4.2.7-1 in development yet?
gimp-print-4.2.7 should contain drivers for the Epson Stylus Photo R200/R300 printers, judging by the following text:
The Epson Stylus Photo R200/R210 and R300/R310 printers, and the RX500 and RX600 multi-function devices, are now supported. These printers have been properly tuned and are fully functional (except for direct printing to CD's).
However after installing gimp-print-4.2.7-1, gimp-print-utils-4.2.7-1, gimp-print-plugin-4.2.7-1, gimp-print-cups-4.2.7-1 under Fedora Core 2 with all the latest updates I cannot configure my Epson Stylus Photo R200 with 'system-config-printer' as a 'locally-connected' printer (/dev/usb/lp0).
The printer is not listed among the Epson printers.
There does seem to be some sort of PPD file available judging by /usr/share/cups/model/uk/escp2-r200.ppd.gz.
Am I misunderstanding things completely or is gimp-print-4.2.7-1.i386.rpm not yet completely kosher.

(Fedora-devel-list is the right place for this discussion.)
The printer is not listed among the Epson printers.
That means that foomatic needs updating.

Thanks for the reply Scott, but help has already arrived :) I had just forgoten to install foomatic too. I now can print (photos) from FC2, albeit not without some rather bothersome defects.
