Hello, I am using this driver for my WF-2510 printer. I got this build error:

memory.c: In function 'eps_free_trace':
memory.c:73:9: error: implicit declaration of function 'debug_msg'; did you mean 'debuglog'? [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
   73 |         debug_msg("%s:%d \t\t<<%s>>: Trace in \n", __FILE__, __LINE__, __FUNCTION__);

I tried to manually build the driver and got this error in CUPS dashboard:

File "/usr/lib/cups/filter/epson_inkjet_printer_filter" not available: No such file or directory

Taking inspiration from this package I modified the PKGBUILD and it's working for me now. I am leaving this here:

Hello, I installed the package successfully and managed to print on different preset Paper Size
Instead when I set up a custom paper size in the EPSON_WF-2520_Series.ppd file, for example a postcard 170 x 200 mm, and try to print I get the filter error message.
I did many tests and found out that the driver does not accept custom papers which do not belong to the preset paper size.
It seems it has something to do with the driver which does not handle custom paper size. Is there a parameter which makes the driver accept custom paper size or is it a driver issue?
Has anyone setup a custom paper size?
These are the values set in the PPD file:

*PageSize Card/Card 170 x 200 mm: "<</PageSize[481.9 566.9]/ImagingBBox null>>setpagedevice"  
*PageRegion Card/Card 170 x 200 mm: "<</PageSize[481.9 566.9]/ImagingBBox null>>setpagedevice"  
*ImageableArea Card/Card 170 x 200 mm: "8.4 8.4 473.5 558.5"  
*PaperDimension Card/Card 170 x 200 mm: "481.9 566.9"

By the way. Thanks for https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/epson-inkjet-printer-workforce-525/. I used his PKGBULD as a template.

The driver ist for WF-2010 Series, WF-2510 Series, WF-2520 Series, WF-2530 Series, WF-2540 Series. You have to download the epson-inkjet-printer-201211w-1.0.0-1lsb3.2.src.rpm manually from http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/searchModule Type: WF-2530. I dunno how to script it in the PKGBUILD
