Want to thank all that responed to the posting that was: print cd/dvd.
I got the Epson Artisan 810 and the epson drivers. Could not get the
printer to work. I'm using Suse 10.2 and it would find the printer. When I
configured it in Yast2 or in Cups and then tried to print a test page, it
would not print.
Another thing, I rebooted the computer and when the splash screen for
entering the bios setup appeared, the computer hung. I waited a couple of
minutes and it failed to continue. If I disconnected the printer, then it
would boot normally.
The printer is going going back monday. Looks like a paperweight to me,
but someone else may have better luck with a different version or a
different distribution of Linux.
Thanks again.
PHT

Personally I'd stay away from those multi-function devices.
I'm sure there is pretty good Linux support for Epson printers.
I personally have a pretty old Epson and have found good Linux support
for it |

I'd suggest you check at avasys.jp before you take it back. That is the
main Epson Linux support site. |

That is where I got the driver that I was using. Tried 3 or 4 selections
beside the one for the 810 that I thought might work. No go.
