Your printer might be supported by more modern alternatives from Epson. You can check this by entering your model name here. Remember to enter your actual model name that is written on the device itself (i.e.
L350
), NOT the name of the package here on the AUR (i.e.201207w
).ESC/P
drivers are packaged asepson-inkjet-printer-*
(many separate packages),ESC/P-R
as epson-inkjet-printer-escpr (one package for all), andESC/P-R 2
as epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2 (one package for all). Exact naming may vary but will include the highlighted keywords. Some models are also listed in the respective packages' descriptions, tags or comments. -
You can find out which
ESC/P
package your specific model needs either by entering the model name into the AUR search (Search by: Name, Description
). If your model string consists of several words, it might be helpful to search only for the last one, e.g.,Stylus Office BX525WD -> BX525WD
. Another option is to go to the said link, enter your model name, clickDownload
on the row that mentionsESC/P
, and compare the file names to the AUR package names. For example,epson-inkjet-printer-workforce-635-nx625-series-1.0.1-1lsb3.2.*
is epson-inkjet-printer-workforce-635-nx625-series andepson-stylus-pro-7890-9890-series-1.1.0-1lsb3.2.*
is epson-inkjet-printer-stylus-pro-7890-9890-series. Notice the unchangedepson-inkjet-printer-*
prefix.
My questions to you are:
-
Is libjpeg required for operation?
-
Is ghostscript required for operation?
