(SOLVED PARTIALLY) Re: Cups problems adding printer Epson in new Debian install

[sentiniate]

I want to thank Joe B  for the suggestion
to also install the printer-driver-escpr pkg, and David Wright
 to whom I want to say that Epson Connect
is the app for Smartphones Android that I have used to print in the
last few days by transferring files from the PC to the Smartphone.

As for Thorsten Alteholz  who closed the
Bugreport #1079243 that I had opened, stating: “Anyway, as others
reported to be able to successfully print to that printer model,
I am afraid this is some kind of configuration problem on your side.”
I would like to tell him that, if he wants to do the community a favor,
he should reopen it, in fact, I KNOW VERY WELL THAT THAT PRINTER
WORKS WITH CUPS ON DEBIAN, in fact I have used it since September
2023 with the Debian that I have in another partition and which
I installed in 2005 and I always updated up to Trixie, perhaps
it wasn't clear what I wrote in the Bugreport: “Since I have the
PPD file that worked on the other partition with Debian, ...”.

However, frustrated by this response, I thought maybe it was a good
thing to “remove –purge” Cups.  Then I reinstalled, this time,
among the suggested packages I loaded openprinting-ppds (I didn't
know if it was a useful package or not, but anyway, I used, in the
past, to download the drivers from openprinting!).
When I tried to install the printer again, it gave me the same errors
if I used “driverless” while, instead, it worked when I chose my
printer model among those offered in the new (much longer) list of
Epson printers.
Maybe openprinting-ppds should be moved to "Recommended" from
"Suggested"
Thank you for reading.

Hello,

On all the distros I've been on, the driver I needed was part of the
epson-inkjet-printer-escpr package. install that close everything go
back to cups login add printer once you are there you should be able
to see your printer (hopefully network printer) once done then you
should be able to find the driver in the list and it should work.

https://packages.debian.org/source/trixie/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr

Hope this helps

I looked for ET-2810 information on Epson's US website, but though it
claimed 47 matches for ET-2810 under support, the model was not there.

I found the model listed on this website:

  https://www.ldlc.com/en/product/PB00463030.html

and under Overview, it says "Key features: [ … ] Mobile and
cloud-based printing services: Epson Connect (iPrint, Email Print,
Remote Print Driver, Scan-to-Cloud), Apple AirPrint,
Google Cloud Print)"

However, under Specifications, it says "Mobile printing:
  Smartphone compatible Yes
  Google Cloud Print No"
and no mention of AirPrint. I have no idea what
"Smartphone compatible" means, and have never heard of
Epson Connect.

I then looked at the Epson UK website (I didn't know whether European
sites would be in English):

 
https://www.epson.co.uk/en_GB/products/printers/inkjet/consumer/ecotank-et-2810/p/30169#tech-specs

and I don't see any mention of AirPrint, just a list of Mac/Windows
OSes, and Epson Smart Panel App and Epson Connect (Email Print,
Remote Print Driver), whatever they are.

All this would lead me to give credence to the views expressed at:

  https://www.reddit.com/r/Epson/comments/11njqgh/airprint_not_working_et2810/

Cheers,
David.

What's the output from:

  $ driverless

(This is normally step one in configuring a printer.)

[Philippe Clérié]

I don't have access to a Linux desktop at the moment to workout the 
exact steps. But since you're already familiar with the CUPS Web 
Interface, it's just a matter of changing the "Connection" to 
AppSocket/JetDirect.


So select the printer, then the "Administration" button, "Modify 
Printer" and choose the appropriate option. You should end up with a 
connection URL like: socket://:9100.


Make sure the printer is configured to listen to that port. I hope that 
works for you.

Cups problems adding printer Epson in new Debian install

The driver is already included in the standard debian distribution

sudo apt-get install printer-driver-escpr

Then the usual cups administration to attach driver to printer using lpadmin or 
http://localhost:631

Mmm. That's a novel way to dispose of the usefulness of changelogs and not
have to acknowledge what appears to be disinformation.
  

Given that clue, I would be surprised to find a "cups" driver in the debian
repo's capable of driving a newer epson product.


Please give yourself a treat and use 'lpinfo -m' :).


Thanks, I just did and it appears to show both brothers installed drivers
and the driverless, but driverless is not complete for either printer, where
the makers ppd is. for the laser, toner would last forever, very thin,
faint, had to read output, the mfcj6920dw only uses top tray, which is $8
for 50 sheets glossy photo paper. Tray 2, the bottom one has up to 350 pages
of duplex copy paper, the obvious choice, but the driverless driver doesn't
use it.


You made a comment on Epson products and Debian. I was rather hoping you would
address that rather than bringing up your concern with a possibly buggy printer
from another vendor.

Sorry, I somewhat subscribe to the suggestion Sophie is a chatbot 
learning, and was more concerned with my own problem cups children. But 
a new kernel on this machine, the "server" seems to have fixed the 
armbian bullseye machines.  epson, given their recent attitude about 
linux, and I as a potential customer pretty much quit worrying about 
them since ink or toner for the brothers cuts my per page costs 
noticeably. I've killed a lot of trees since the early 80's. In a way, 
I'm glad they wouldn't sell me a new high voltage board, the color 
reproduction of this inkjet is far far superior to anything I ever got 
out of the color laser.

This is the sort of thing that you install in /opt or /usr/local and
write your own systemd unit files or init.d scripts for, possibly
cannibalizing the Debian ones if they exist.


If it works, I'd prefer the packaging system knows about it.


That said, since this involves printers, I would just ask Brian what

Debian provides OpenSSL (libssl-dev or the older libssl1.0-dev) and GnuTLS

gnutls28-dev worked, all tests pass. thanks Greg. How do I now make

Most projects that want TLS support are developed around OpenSSL, so
you should try that first.  Or, read the project's INSTALL or README

I don't understand why you guys even propose installing drivers from
Epson when printer-driver-escpr package is in Debian and should be
correct for the printer in question? Is there some established reason to
think it won't work? Or you just didn't do your homework?

I get that this saga probably never goes anywhere but I don't understand

If you reread - I suggest using the Debian package of escputil - I just wanted
Sophie to see that there was an Epson driver which might provide status

to find the driver.

However to update this never ending saga, I rebooted this machine into a

5.10.0-23-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.179-1 (2023-05-12) x86_64 GNU/Linux

and my bullseye armbian machines have magically gotten well. What

Dear Sophie,

Epson do not formally support Linux for many of their printers.
They do provide some uofficial Linux packages. Among these are ones for 
your printer.

I only understand a little German. I am installing a Debian Linux 11 virtual
machine in German in order to help you better.

http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/ - the Epson web site.

If you put M1120 into the search box, do not put anything into operating system
and press Enter, you get 20 results.

Follow the links for the Epson printer driver for Linux - accept the license
conditions.

Download - epson-printer-utility_1.1.1-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb

Also run the command that they suggest (as root or by using sudo):

apt install lsb

Install the supporting library for Epson printers from Debian

apt install escputil 

Now follow the tutorial page. Install escputil first, then the Epson printer
driver.

If this fails - tell us *exactly* what fails, error messages and so on.

All the very best, as ever,

Andy Cater

OK. I'm going to have one more go at this. For the avoidance of doubt:
I'll assume that Sophie is genuine - maybe a teenager, certainly
someone whose first language is German.

I'm going to assume good faith, despite some evidence to the contrary.**

>From looking on Epson's website:

1. They do not support this printer under Linux officially.

2. The printer is listed as a printer supported only under Windows - lots
of variants.

3. It is listed as a GDI compatible printer - this is indicative of a printer
that requires a specific Windows driver to compose the page.

4. It is compatible with older Epson printing protocols called Esc/P and
Esc/P-R.

5. Epson do have a filter program available to make this printer work
as an Esc/P printer under Linux using CUPS to manage the printer.

6. If CUPS setup is possible - you will need to read documents to be
able to set up CUPS.

How on earth would we know whether the messages are important without

This is why nobody is offering you any more help.  You are presenting
yourself as either a troll, or as someone who is so fundamentally
incompetent that helping you is impossible.

Do you want my advice?  Go find a local Linux users group, and ask them
what kind of printers they're using.  Then buy one of THOSE printers,
and have the Linux users group help you set it up.

Epson doesn't appear to have created one for this printer:

http://tech.epson.com.au/downloads/product.asp

http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/searchModule

and Openprinting appears to have nothing on it.
It appears you have purchased a boat anchor.
This leaves you with two options:
buy a very cheap desktop box off a recycler with Windows loaded to use
as a driver box, or
buy another printer, using the above links as reference points as to
what might be worth your money.
Cheers!

Good morning

It is not an AI problem
the printer is saying:

 EPSON ET M 1120 new printer: If You can read this, you are using the wrong 
driver

I think
EPSON tried to help.

Thank You.

...follow the money. Microsoft has dumped such an outrageous amount
of that into OpenAI as to be relevant. Besides, they're now feeling
all smug for having (at least ostensibly) out-maneuvred Google, for
once.

Besides... history. They already released one AI (on twitter?) which
ended up misbehaving.

I don't know if you did anything wrong -- if your printer is an Epson with the
Ecotank feature, that may be exactly correct.  What did you expect?

Good afternoon

The problem is
the printer is not printing.

Is this a better explanation?

Intentionally replying off list and top posting:

Are you a real (flesh and blood,  human) person or some kind of bot?

Are you making any progress in getting your problem(s) solved?

What is your native language?

I find your emails very hard to understand, and I'm quite sure others do as
well, so if you are a real person and really need nelp, you need to improve
your writing.

If there is a debian list in your native language, I suggest that you ask for
help there, in your native language.

If not, and you're not getting the help you need here but have nowhere else to
ask, you need to phrase your questions better.

If that is what you have to do, I suggest you start over, with a statement of
the current status of your problem and your overall objective.

My general understanding at this point is that you bought an Epson printer (of
a certain model number and it is either not working or not working the way you
expect.

Don't reply to me (I am not even close to being an expert in getting a printer
to run under Debian / Linux / cups), but start a new thread on the debian-user
list if that is what you need to do.

And, in future replies, pay attention to how other well formatted replies look
-- I've created an example below.

Good luck!

An example of replying (to your post).  First rule -- delete what is not
relevant to your reply -- note that I've delected the first two lines of your
reply (Good Morning, Thank You)

I'm betting even that wouldn't work;  At this point, I'm of the opinion
(after a quick glance through some of the earlier posts in this thread)
that the OP may have installed the driver from Debian but has not fired
up CUPS to actually make use of it.

Given their obvious difficulties with English (not their native tongue,

have to take the form of paying them a visit.

OK. I'm going to have one more go at this. For the avoidance of doubt:
I'll assume that Sophie is genuine - maybe a teenager, certainly

I'm going to assume good faith, despite some evidence to the contrary.**

>From looking on Epson's website:

1. They do not support this printer under Linux officially.

2. The printer is listed as a printer supported only under Windows - lots
of variants.

3. It is listed as a GDI compatible printer - this is indicative of a printer
that requires a specific Windows driver to compose the page.

4. It is compatible with older Epson printing protocols called Esc/P and

5. Epson do have a filter program available to make this printer work
as an Esc/P printer under Linux using CUPS to manage the printer.

6. If CUPS setup is possible - you will need to read documents to be

How on earth would we know whether the messages are important without

This is why nobody is offering you any more help.  You are presenting
yourself as either a troll, or as someone who is so fundamentally
incompetent that helping you is impossible.

Do you want my advice?  Go find a local Linux users group, and ask them
what kind of printers they're using.  Then buy one of THOSE printers,
and have the Linux users group help you set it up.

Epson doesn't appear to have created one for this printer:

http://tech.epson.com.au/downloads/product.asp

http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/searchModule

and Openprinting appears to have nothing on it.
It appears you have purchased a boat anchor.
This leaves you with two options:
buy a very cheap desktop box off a recycler with Windows loaded to use
as a driver box, or
buy another printer, using the above links as reference points as to
what might be worth your money.
Cheers!

AW: EPSON ET M 1120 new printer: If You can read this, you are using the wrong driver

[Schwibinger Michael]

Good morning

Thank You for help.

There are some other messages from the printer.

Are they important?



The list gave me here a lot of URLS,
but where ist the good driver?

Some german list members speculated about a psychology or sociology

Murder by a Hanlon razor. Now that would be... something.

I used to be on Hanlon's side; slowly, that one is decaying.
It seems that you were right, after all.

Perhaps this is just a dark tentacle of ChatGPT, probing the
more fringe aspects of human psychology. It's coming from
a Microsoft domain, after all.

Can somenody help with the printing problem.

Regrettably there is no english version of

My preferred tool in this case is Clarke's Third Razor:

  "any sufficiently advanced form of malice is indistinguishable
  from stupidity"

With apologies to Arthur C. Clarke and whoever Hanlon actually is.

I don't know about your position, but I find myself repeating
Hanlon's Razor a lot: "Never ascribe to malice that which can
adequately be explained by stupidity."  But then, in the back
of my mind, a little voice replies: "But Microsoft isn't stupid!"

...follow the money. Microsoft has dumped such an outrageous amount
of that into OpenAI as to be relevant. Besides, they're now feeling
all smug for having (at least ostensibly) out-maneuvred Google, for
once.

Besides... history. They already released one AI (on twitter?) which
ended up misbehaving.

It means that person has put you on their ignore list, or killfile, or
whatever it's called in their mail reader.  They have chosen never to
see anything you write, ever again.

If you still have issues with your printer, I strongly advise you to ask
on the German mailing list, or whichever mailing list speaks your primary
language.  I don't think anyone on this list is interested in continuing

They started on the German mailing list, about a year ago ...

.
The last epson I had that worked with linux was a 4 color C82, well over 
a decade ago. Then it looks as if they started making windows only 
printers because all the normal printer stuff was moved from the driver 
in the printer and put into the windows driver, leaving only the ability 
to put a drop of the chosen color at the chosen xy spot on the paper in 
the printer.  That and the constant battle to keep the nozzle unclogged 
got tiresome and limited the last printer I bought to about 2 months 
life. So that was replaced by a Brother color laser, which worked well 
for around 4 years, then slowly lost its corona wire voltage, an easy 
enough to diagnose problem for me as I am a CET, but brother refused to 
sell me a board despite the fact that I am a CET, fully capable of 
handling that high voltage item. So I brought home their biggest inkjet. 
That was about 8 years ago, and it is still pumping out full color 
images on paper up to tabloid size. A huge device, its also a scanner 
for 11x17 tabloid. I also have a much faster HLL2320dw a B&W laser that 
does duplex on copy paper at 19 pages a minute. And running on linux, 
using the drivers they supply, both run to their full capabilities.


Obviously I am now a Brother fan and I believe in supporting the makers 
who support us. Glaringly obvious in my previous post. But apparently 
this person doesn't want to admit a mistake was made, and the only way 
to solve it is to run an all windows house at much more cost than buying 
another printer that is supported would be.  Brother's consumables cost 
less per page than epson so you get the difference back over time and 
reams of paper.


This may be a duplicate of what wallmart had for sale at $31.95 3 or 4 
years ago, and which I saw the epson label and drove the cart right on by.


Cheers, Gene Heskett.

It means that person has put you on their ignore list, or killfile, or
whatever it's called in their mail reader.  They have chosen never to
see anything you write, ever again.

If you still have issues with your printer, I strongly advise you to ask

The EPSON ET M1120 does not come with enough intelligence to be certified
as AirPrintint-capable. Therefore, it may or may not be be a driverless
device. The printer would need to be queried and its attributes examined
to make a decision.

The problem is people not being patient and not being helpful.
Somewhere in the list of messages, there is one from me asking
people to be helpful - I see you have copied it below..

I'm guessing Sophie is a young person and is working in English
which for her is a second language. I'm also guessing that she
is doing this because she wants to learn for herself.

There is a Debian user mailing list in the German language if
this would be more helpful.

The lists of messages often all have the same subject even if the question
changes. That's fine but can be confusing at times.

My latest message was asking a series of questions so that we can
perhaps narrow down the problem.

Good evening, Sophie

Many printers can be supported in Debian: one way or another we should be
able to help you.

Since we cannot be with you to see exactly what you are doing: could you
please answer some questions for the list to help us to help you?

Just to check: Exactly which version of Debian are you using?

You can find this in the file /etc/debian_version

Which desktop environment are you running?

GNOME or KDE or one of the others?

Many desktop environments have Settings or something similar gathering
together tools to set up screens, sound and printers.

Thank you for your help in helping us :)

With best wishes

Andy Cater

Agreed: in this instance, however, we've had a series of emails from this
person in the past. Most of them don't reset a subject so go on a long time
on various subjects in the same thread.

That said: people - please remember that this list is subject to the Code
of Conduct. Part of that involves being constructive and helpful: sniping
doesn't really help at all.

We are all human and can get annoyed when someone just doesn't *get it*
but it's useful to remember that email is hard because you can't see
the circumstances of the person on the other end. That's also one of
the reasons why these threads keep asking for technical details / accuracy:

we can't see over your shoulder.

The new one's quicker and nicer and wireless and does duplex and works with my

In a short answer no. Epson worked very well but that way back, 20 years 
ago.


For high quality output, Brother is hard to beat, and has drivers for 
linux that Just Work. I have 2 Brothers, an HLL2320 laser for fast 
duplex output in B&W, about 20 pages a minute, and a now several years 
old MFC-J6920DW, an ink-jet that can handle up to tabloid paper in its 
printer and in its scanner, and the scanner can do duplex with letter or 
A4 material as it has an ADF feeder. This printer is both huge and gives 
very high quality photo outputs with every option it has being usable 
with the Debian bullseye I'm running here.


Accessible from USB or from a cat5 connection you can set for your own 
home network. Their installer is a script you can run, telling it what 
printer you have, it then goes to their site, downloads the proper 
driver and installs it in the cups menu's.  The USB connection is faster 
though.


Brother's ink-jet's will use a wee bit more ink than some because if 
powered up full time, will do a quiet nozzle clean at least daily, and 
my MFC-J6920-DW has never had a clogged nozzle in 7 or 8 years now.


Something I can't say for my own history with several Epson's years ago. 
Aftermarket, lower priced ink has been 100% usable but their inks give 
truer color. An ink-jet that Just Works has been a breath of fresh air 
here for quite a while now.


An no, I don't work for or own any Brother stock. I'm just a 21 year 
retired television station chief engineer. I think that makes me an old 
coot. Take care and stay well Sophie

Certainly. I was meaning that bullet-point item as an addendum to the
