I bought an Epson ET-3170, because I liked the refillable bottle ink format, and the DPI was really good, and I figured CUPS could drive it. So, I am at your 'next stage' because I can not think of what to do with my very limited knowledge in (Puppy) Linux.Īt the risk of being boring, please remember to KISS, thanks. The EPSON did appear in the LibreOffice printer choice menu. In LibreOffice tried to print my 'one page text file' and - nothing, not even a blank page this time. In CUPS tried a Test Print and received - Stopped "Filter failed" - message. The EPSON did appear in the Printer Added page. As far as I know I haven't got one of those. I think that stands for PostScript Printer Description. Again negative.ĬUPS was asking for a PPD file to be provided. Used Terminal (# Apt Install LSB and Apt Install LSB) but Bash came back negative on both.Īlso used pFind file finder using LSB as search All files.
The download has lisb3.2 in its title so I guess it was included.
On download page It said "in order to install these drivers, you need to install LSB package (version 3.2 or later) beforehand". Installed OS to USB - Downloaded and installed epson-inkjet-printer-escpr_1.7.17-lisb3.2_b on USB. My browser is Firefox V 91.0.2 (32bit).Īfter having a hunt round, I have activated the spellchecker, so now I can type to my hearts content.Īny spelling errors are underlined in red with the choice to correct. These are both direct download links, BTW. Epsons almost never function with the built-in CUPS 'Gutenprint' drivers.unless you have a very early Epson. If you've already performed this step, let us know, and we'll proceed to the next step. For my elderly SX-218 (fore-runner of the WorkForce-series), it's 3 packages.and they MUST be installed in a specific order, since each package relies on the contents of the previous package already being present on the system. You're getting the easy option nowadays the scanner driver is an all-in-one package. If you also need the scanner driver - Epson insist on installing these as two separate packages, despite being in one chassis! - you can find that here:.
I'll assume you're aware that you need to download & install the Epson Linux driver for this series, yes? If not, you'll find it here:.
