Arch Linux User Repository

There's a list of all Epson printers supported by this driver in the Wiki, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/CUPS/Printer-specific_problems#Epson and alternatively in the GitLab repository https://gitlab.com/at.gentoo.repo/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2/-/blob/master/SUPPORTED-PRINTERS always for the most recent driver version.

Just a suggestion: could you add the following keywords to the package, it will make finding the package for specific printers easier:

EP-50V Series, EP-879A Series, EP-880A Series, EP-881A Series, ET-3700 Series, ET-3750 Series, ET-4750 Series, ET-8700 Series, ET-M1140 Series, ET-M1180 Series, ET-M2140 Series, ET-M3140 Series, ET-M3170 Series, ET-M3180 Series, EW-M630T Series, EW-M670FT Series, L6160 Series, L6170 Series, L6190 Series, M1180 Series, M2140 Series, M3180 Series, PM-520 Series, PX-M380F, PX-M381FL, PX-M5080F Series, PX-M5081F Series, PX-M680F Series, PX-M7070FX, PX-M7110F, PX-M7110FP, PX-M780F Series, PX-M781F Series, PX-M880FX, PX-M884F, PX-M886FL, PX-S380, PX-S381L, PX-S5010 Series, PX-S5080 Series, PX-S7070X, PX-S7110, PX-S7110P, PX-S880X, PX-S884, WF-2860 Series, WF-3720 Series, WF-3730 Series, WF-4720 Series, WF-4730 Series, WF-4740 Series, WF-7210 Series, WF-7710 Series, WF-7720 Series, WF-C5210 Series, WF-C5290 Series, WF-C5290BA, WF-C529R Series, WF-C529RB, WF-C5710 Series, WF-C5790 Series, WF-C5790BA, WF-C579R Series, WF-C579RB, WF-C8190 Series, WF-C8190B, WF-C8610 Series, WF-C8690 Series, WF-C8690B, WF-C869R Series, WF-M5298 Series, WF-M5299 Series, WF-M5799 Series, XP-15000 Series, XP-5100 Series, XP-6000 Series, XP-6100 Series, XP-8500 Series

It looks like Epson released a new version (1.1.17) and removed the old one. Attempting to make the package fails, stating there was a 404 error while downloading.

@bboozzoo awesome thanks for that fix! uploaded now.

@AngryUbuntuNerd I've updated the patch locally, feel free to grab it from here https://github.com/bboozzoo/pkgbuilds/commit/8519333a1b3514054a35ab7990b1f5394e69248b I've only tested with WF-7710, so far did not notice any issues. The driver is a bit messy, but from quickly scanning through it, the chunk calling XFIFOWrite() does not appear to be called at all.

I updated this driver to 1.1.15, but the patch for 64 bit support stopped working. Currently I dont have time to fix this, and no machine to test it on, so if its still an issue could someone else help out?

test0: Why don't you just click on the upstream URL and see for yourself? See also here.

Does it work for my Epson WF-3725 printer? Any raccomandations to follow prior to install this package? Thanks.

@AngryUbuntuNerd I figured out what the problem was. My system (uname -r --> 5.5.13-1-MANJARO) has the following default LDFLAGS configured in /etc/makepkg.conf:

LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1,--sort-common,--as-needed,-z,relro,-z,now,-fuse-linker-plugin

Removing those flags gets the package to compile flawlessly. Kind of sad that the default flags fail just like that :(
