Please update the package to depend on epson-inkjet-printer-filter, which gives the benefit of installing the filter (and the watermark files) once to a proper system-wide location and then installing just the libraries and data for the specific model drivers. This saves space, build time, and adheres more to the Arch packaging guidelines.

You have two options:

  1. Copy the PKGBUILD from one of my packages, such as epson-inkjet-printer-201207w, and modify only the model, description, and source URL.

  2. Make me a co-maintainer, and I can implement the changes myself.

I have already applied this update to ~118 packages and have received positive feedback regarding their functionality.

I flagged the package out of date since it does not work anymore without applying the patch from this discussion: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=229121&p=2

Same problem as jamc, but on a Epson BX635FWD: Printing fails with "Filter failed".

With the help of others, a patch was created. Please see https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=229121 for the relevant discussion.

The patch for several source files can be found here: https://hastebin.com/jozafefowa.m (suggested filename "epson-inkjet-printer-201106w.patch" to match up with PKGBUILD patch)

Necessary changes to PKGBUILD: https://hastebin.com/agucefeles.bash

I would be glad if you could add those two patches into the repository.

I can't get printer working in a fresh installation. My printer is EPSON BX535WD and all jobs finish with a "Filter failed" message.

gcc is in "base-devel"... See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD#makedepends Note: The group base-devel is assumed to be already installed when building with makepkg. Members of this group should not be included in makedepends array.

Please add dependency for gcc.
