Arch Linux User Repository

Building packages from AUR requires base-devel, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_User_Repository

base-devel depends among others on autoconf, automake and make.

Sorry, I didn't use the sudo privilege, so I used

sudo make install

and it's ok

After executing : ./configure && make && make install,

I got the following error :

/usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file '/usr/local/lib/libescpr.so.1.0.0': Permission denied
make[2]: *** [Makefile:422: install-libLTLIBRARIES] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/menouer/Downloads/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr-1.7.20/lib'
make[1]: *** [Makefile:715: install-am] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/menouer/Downloads/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr-1.7.20/lib'
make: *** [Makefile:445: install-recursive] Error 1

and I didn't find the driver 1.7.20-1 installed. Thanks for help.

Add dependencies:

sudo pacman -S ipp-usb sane sane-airscan

https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/ipp-usb/

https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/sane/

sudo systemctl enable --now ipp-usb.service

And my EPSON L3250 printer works

@electricprism, I think the et-8500 support is included in the other package epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2, look at the Epson website.

Does this include the ET-8500 driver?

@L1nx This only installs the generic driver. Perhaps you're looking for epson-printer-utility?

Sorry to bother, but I am stuck with the installation, I have a XP-352 printer/scanner. What I did so far:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr.git

cd epson-inkjet-printer-escpr

makepkg

sudo pacman -U epson-inkjet-printer-escpr-1.7.18-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

That however didn't create any new programms, or at least I didn't find anything searching for "epson" under "All Applications"

I also tried running sudo ./configure && make && make install in the folder ./src/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr-1.7.18 both as a normal user and as root. This doesn't cause any errors, but it also didn't install any new programms.
