I've got a Windows XP machine, connected to a Netgear wireless router, sharing an Epson Stylus Color 880 USB printer.

My PowerBook connects via wifi to the router, and I can print to the shared printer using the Epson Stylus Color Series CUPS v1.1 driver.

It prints fine except for one detail - pages are not separated. That is, the printer will keep printing until it reaches the absolute bottom of the page and is pushed out of the printer, then it will suck in a new page and start again.

When it reaches the last page, it won't push the page out of the printer when it's done, it will just stop wherever on the page the last line is - I have to press the paper feed button to get it out the rest of the way.

Suggestions?

It's time to upgrade, nugget, and when you do I recommend getting something other than a new Epson. I don't know how I put up with Epsons for so long myself - they totally stink.

I tried upgrading to GIMP-print 5.0 beta, and now it send the job and just doesn't print at all..

And sorry Big Mac, the correct answer is not "time to upgrade". A new printer is not in the budget at the moment.

Problem solved, I upgraded to Gimp Print 5 and CUPS 1.2

Considering that new, less-annoying printers can be had for scarcely more than the cost of a change of ink, I'd get a new, properly-supported printer in a heartbeat.

thanks for the input tooki, however the epson is in perfect condition, and has excellent photo printing quality. theres been no problems with it on my dads windows machine and there's no problems now on my mac. getting a new printer would be a waste of money when this one is just fine, im not sure what about it you consider "annoying"
