Problem with a printer driver

Hi!

I'm running KDE 3.5.5 under Gentoo. I'm also using cups 1.2.6, gutenprint-5.0.0, and the latest foomatic stuff.

I successfully installed my smb Epson Stylus Color 600 using the CUPS web interface. I was able to choose the Gutenprint driver, and I can set all sorts of useful options (like resolution, colors, etc).

Now, I cannot find a way to make KDE recognize that driver. That is, whenever I print using that printer, there is no "Driver tab", like I was used to having under an old Slackware box. kdeprint keeps complaining about changing parsing problems. Sometimes it's a stack overflow, sometimes (with the exact same driver) it's something else.

Since the printer is working properly, I take it this is more of a KDE issue, right? Anyone with a similar problem? Better yet, a solution? ;)

Thank!
Enrique

Maybe this is a solution. Look at comment #6.

Thanks nezumi! That was it! Just replacing -O3 by -O2 in the CFLAGS of make.conf

Weird bug, huh?

Sorry to revive a relatively *old* thread but I wanted to thank you!
I had this really annoying problem for months. I couldn't print photos or instruct my printer to print text in black and white only. I had to use applications I don't like in order to have the job done right!

Thank you!
