[wplug] Printer woes:Cups/EpslonStylusC82&RH7.2

[joseph s. gordon iv]

Hello All,
    i was recently blessed with a new Epson Stylus C82 for my birthday.  
Unfortunaltly, i can't get it to work. :-(

    i went to linuxprinting.org and found that using the driver 
gimp-print would allow me to use my new printer "perfectly".  So i 
downloaded gimp-print-cups-4.2.5-3.src.rpm.  Of course i also had to 
download cups and all it's attendant libraries. 

    i was able to install all packages succesfully and was able to 
access the cups interface via http://localhost:631.  It recognized my 
printer on the USB port and recomended the drivers installed from 
gimp-print.  However, when you are adding or configuring the printer it 
asks for the location and description of printer on the first page.  
Description is self explanatory but what does it mean by "Location"?  i 
can't seem to find what i am supposed to enter here in any of the 
documentation.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!  i so want to play with my 
new toy!!

    Also, i know that Epson usual software suite on M$ machines has 
several utilities to clear the print heads and check ink levels.  Does 
anybody know of alternatives for my alternative OS?

    Thanks Again,

    Joe Gordon IV
