good question, thats a decision by epson: they have a "escpr" and "escpr2" driver for different models each

Hi, I'm just a bit confused. Why are there 2 "Epson Inkjet Printer Driver" here in AUR? What's the difference between these two?

base-devel! sorry, all good!

shame on my head .... base devel was missing. I had freshly installed Manjaro today and didn't pay attention to it. Sorry and thanks for your support

@mozon make sure to have base-devel package installed, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Makepkg#Usage

In reply to ValdikSS comment:
Yes, which is why the Epson Inkjet printer driver 2 for ESC/P-R or "epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2" is only available as a PKGBUILD. Only the PKGBUILD is publicly available, not the driver itself, but with it everyone can easily obtain and build the driver for themselves. The license is not for the PKGBUILD. To uphold the Epson license however, the PKGBUILD references it correctly, and it is every ones own responsibility to respect Epson's license and to comply with it.

With every release I update the keywords (see Package Details above) containing a list of all Epson printer series supported by this driver. Additionally, SUPPORTED-PRINTERS at the GitLab repository gitlab.com/at.gentoo.repo/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2 also contains a list of supported printers.
Most Epson Inkjet printers are covered by either this package or epson-inkjet-printer-escpr. If your printer is not supported by this package, be sure to check the other one. You may also want to consult the Wiki, specifically CUPS and CUPS/Printer-specific problems#Epson.
Note: all packages from AUR require
base-devel, please read Arch User Repository as a user or PKGBUILD#makedepends for details on PKGBUILD.
