I have installed fresh fedora 12 & installed many softwares in rpm & tar forms , also i used yum to do installation, all these attempts were successful. But i could not install & configure Epson Dot matrix FX-2175 printer.

Epson Dot matrix FX-2175 printer worked fine in my earlier distro fc11.

please help.
