Sir/Madam

You Need To Go Below URL Link and download Some file To Fix your Epson Printer Problem,I Hope after Download file and follow instruction metion on the URL Link Site You able To Fix Your Epson Printer problem :

SOLUTION

  1. Download the attached file(s). You will probably just need the 24-pin PPD, but I have also included the 9-pin PPD (which I haven't tested) just in case.
  2. Browse to the CUPS web interface at http: // localhost:631
    NOTE: The printer installer system from the GUI will NOT work. It will throw an error and promptly fail
  3. Create the printer listing using the CUPS web interface, and when it asks for a PPD, point it at the one you just downloaded
  4. PROFIT!!
I hope this helps someone, ANYONE who has been in the same straits I have been.

So man your chips, and may The Source be with you!

my LQ 300+ is not compatible with my windows vista

More comprehensive information to those who are looking to use the Epson LQ-300+ with Ubuntu.

You can download the ppd from http://www.cups.org/ppd/epson/en/eplq300.ppd.gz

I just copied the .gz (don't extract the ppd) file to /usr/share/foomatic/db/source/PPD/Epson/
(not sure where else I can put it).

Goto System->Administration->Printing and add a new printer. I have connected the printer with one of those cheap USB to Parallel cables. The printer is detected as EPSON LQ-300+

Select driver under Epson and you should see it listed as LQ-300+ 24 pin.

CAUTION!: The max resolution you can use under "Printer Options" is 360x180dpi. DO NOT select the highest 360dpi setting - your printer will go crazy and eat-up all your paper.

It works for me. I hope it works for you too.
