Re: Reverse-engineering CD printing on the Epson R300

Hi,
        By editting the remote mode commands for the CD media source, in the
variable cd_cutter_roll_feed_input_slots[] in file
print-escp2-data.c, I was able to get the CD tray to feed and print
within the gimp plugin, although alignment with the CD is terribly off. 
However, when printing postscript with cups, I always get the following
error in my log file when trying to print to the CD, and nothing
happens:

W [24/Jul/2004:20:46:44 -0500] [Job 137] Media tray empty!
E [24/Jul/2004:20:46:48 -0500] [Job 137] Gimp-Print: options failed to
verify.
E [24/Jul/2004:20:46:48 -0500] [Job 137] Gimp-Print: Make sure that you
are using ESP Ghostscript rather
E [24/Jul/2004:20:46:48 -0500] [Job 137] Gimp-Print: than GNU or AFPL
Ghostscript with CUPS.
E [24/Jul/2004:20:46:48 -0500] [Job 137] Gimp-Print: If this is not the
cause, set LogLevel to debug2 to identify the problem.
E [24/Jul/2004:20:46:48 -0500] [Job 137] Gimp-Print Invalid printer
settings!
E [24/Jul/2004:20:46:48 -0500] [Job 137] Gimp-Print No pages found!
E [24/Jul/2004:20:46:48 -0500] PID 11022 stopped with status 1!

On turning on debug, I find I get the error:

D [24/Jul/2004:21:30:33 -0500] [Job 145] Gimp-Print internal: `A4' is
not a valid PageSize

Any suggestions as to how to resolve this conflict?

BTW, the remote mode command string that seemed to work was
{26,
"PM\002\000\000\000IR\002\000\000\003FP\003\000\000\000\000PP\003\000\000\002\001"}
