If you would like to share this printer with others on your local network, click on the 'Admin' link, under Server, click on the "Share printers connected to this system" and save the changes. The status window will show current print jobs, detected printers, and other information about the printing system. To look at the CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) configuration and status window, please open this webpage: This process usually resolves many printing issues. Repeat the steps above to add the printer and try printing the test page again. If the printer stops working, open the Printers Application again and click the gear icon, and select Remove Printer to remove the printer and its settings.

I'm doing my testing on an 'experimental' save directory so I don't botch up the system too much.Sudo bash linux-brprinter-installer PRINTERNAME I'm considering returning this printer today instead of trying to fix CUPS.

As it stands I can load the proper driver and get the "filter failed" error when trying to print a test page, or I can use one of the incorrect pre-loaded CUPS drivers, and get the printer to spit out unending blank pages.īut printing a simple document is still out of the question. Apparently the Linux Driver is an all-in-one package deal, where about 50 printer drivers are included in one generic package.

I'm running Fossapup64 with CUPS 2.3.1, and I downloaded the Current EPSON linux drivers, which appear to install alright, in other words all the Epson drivers show up in CUPS browser gui. Seems the logical place to get answers is from the Puppy Community. Apparently from some web searches, the "filter failed" error is pretty common, and appears to be caused by various different factors on different distros and different versions of CUPS and affects printers of many makes and models. 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:.
