How to use Epson SX218? (Solved)

#1 Post by pettimm1 »

Please help to understand why the printer does not print epson sx218 (three in one) says "stopped
"/ opt / epson-inkjet-printer-escpr / cups / lib / filter / epson-escpr-wrapper failed" checked in SLACKO 5.5 and precise 5.6.1 and precise 5.7.1, the scanner works in Linux Mint same driver-works. Thank you. Peter.

Where did you get the driver package? How did you install it?

You need to provide this information before I can provide a solution.

The source for information about printers in Puppy is here.

It will take you to a page of Epson drivers where you can download the epson_inkjet_printer_escpr-1.2.2.pet

Thank you, put the package epson_inkjet_printer_escpr-1.2.2.pet and it worked .... But there is still the question of what to put what would clean the head, watch the ink level?

If you read here again, there are links to the programs InkGUI and escputil. For example,

Code: Select all

escputil -i -r /dev/usb/lp0
or
escputil -c -r /dev/usb/lp0
