The following error displayed by epson-printer-utility can be safely ignored. I don't know what is the cause, but is doesn't affect usability: Unable to load library icui18n "Cannot load library icui18n: (icui18n: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)"

If you get the error Communication daemon down, Error code = -1, you have to start the ecbd service. You can either do that with sudo systemctl enable --now ecbd.service if you want the serice to run at system startup or with sudo systemctl start ecbd.service if you only want to start the service manually each time you use epson-printer-utility

The link has changed, here is the new link. https://download3.ebz.epson.net/dsc/f/03/00/10/56/57/bf0f331b84492c4e009309f7adbb67e15080a4e8/epson-printer-utility_1.1.0-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb

In addition to that, in the epson-printer-utility.desktop file, the Categories attribute must have the value 'Utility' and not 'Application', it should be updated as follows.

...
Categories=Utility;Printing;
...

Here is a reference to the desktop menu specification's latest list of registered categories. https://specifications.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apa.html

The link has changed again and new link is https://download3.ebz.epson.net/dsc/f/03/00/10/50/68/d8fedd44751ca0c22d04f3651df200c36fd09f4f/epson-printer-utility_1.1.0-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb

update it please

@wuut thanks for the suggestion, but I will rather keep updating the link. I personally would not feel comfortable installing a package from the AUR that relocates a download from the original source, no matter how plausible the reason is. Thus, I will not do this with a package that I maintain although it means more work for me.

@lgm I recommend you to store deb package at github (for example) because EPSON changes download URL every week or two.

@vS0uz4 the ecbd service has to be running for Epson Printer Utility to work. You can do this e.g. with the command 'sudo systemctl enable --now ecbd.service' from a terminal. This will start the service now and also on every reboot.

Has this package been orphaned?
