Try going to the control center/hardware information/hardware detection and see if it's in there.

Also, are you connecting through a USB hub or directly into a usb port on your box?

Hello Melc28!

I have an epson CX4100 and I Have to use the AVASYS drivers in order to make the printer work.
I tried the drivers included in Xandros 4, it detected the printer very well but when I sent a job to the printer nothing happens... the job dissapeared and nothing was printed. The printer status is "Idle".
So I decided to install the AVASYS drivers, now it prints and scans very well.
I recommend you to try those drivers, followings the next steps :
1- Go to the page :
http://www.avasys.jp/english/index.html
Then select Linux -> Driver download
http://avasys.jp/hp/menu000000500/hpg000000442.htm
2 - Select "Download" "All in Ones"
3 - Select "Stylus CX4500/CX4600"
In "Distribution" select "Debian"
In "Version" select "others"
Complete your country and printer use then "next"
4 - Download the files under the title
"Printer Driver"
"Download for Stylus CX4500/CX4600 Series for CUPS"
"pips-scx4500_4600s-cups-2.6.2-2.i386.rpm"
5 - If you want to use the scanner - Download the files under the title
"Scanner Driver"
"Download for Stylus CX4500/CX4600 (for gcc 3.4 or later)"
"iscan-2.4.0-0.c2.i386.rpm"
6 - Open the "Xandros Network" and choose "Install rpm...."
7 - Select the file :
"pips-scx4500_4600s-cups-2.6.2-2.i386.rpm"
8 - open a console window and run the command :
/usr/local/EPAva/LITE/setup
then run the command :
/usr/local/EPAva/LITE/pipslite-install
The output should be something like this :
PPD file has been registered to /usr/share/cups/model
9 - Open the "Xandros Network" and choose "Install rpm...."
10 - Select the file :
"iscan-2.4.0-0.c2.i386.rpm"
11 - Go to the "Control Center" -> "Printers"
Then Add -> Local -> Next
12 - Click the label "Have a PPD.."
13 - Browse and select the file generated in the step 8. It Should be something like this :
/usr/share/cups/model/ekscx4600.ppd
(In my case the file was "ekscx4100.ppd")
14 - You are ready to print the Test Page...
15 - If you installed the scanner driver you can test it going to the menu "Applications" -> Graphics -> Scanner
In my case I have to choose the option
"epkowa:libusb:006:002"

16 - Please tell me if that works for you...

Hope this help someone!

Good Luck!
