Arch Linux User Repository

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.

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

Epson printer driver download page seems to be broken quite a while now :'(

Thanks @uwe, that fix worked on my machine, updated the PKGBUILD @lukas.fink1 your fix seemed to not work for me, same error like before

It does not work for me. I had to add one line in "build" section after "cd":

autoreconf -f -i

Got it from here: https://github.com/apereo/mod_auth_cas/issues/97

What worked for me was changing the build function to this:

build() {
  cd "$pkgname-$pkgver"
  aclocal
  autoconf

  ./configure --prefix=/usr \
              --with-cupsfilterdir=/usr/lib/cups/filter \
              --with-cupsppddir=/usr/share/ppd
  make
}

(I don’t know how to do newlines here so: https://pastebin.com/3ARnHjqy) This seems to rebuild aclocal.m4 and configure with the installed version of the GNU Build System.

I am getting an exception when building the new version (1.0.27) of this package, saying "'automake-1.15' is missing on your system". The automake in the Arch repos is 1.16.1 - I assume thats the problem? If someone else has the problem and knows how to fix it, I can update the PKGBUILD

Looks like it's broken again. Along with the first one

you always have a stay on top of them. thanks very much for link and hash, updated

looks like they did it again... https://download3.ebz.epson.net/dsc/f/03/00/08/18/36/2720920e2f74303ecaaed1b4ded05bef250abce7/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2-1.0.23-1lsb3.2.src.rpm
