(Based on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1558950 ) 1. Download http://sourceforge.net/projects/epsonepl/files/epsonepl/0.4.1/epsoneplijs-0.4.1.tgz/download 2. Assure that you have build tools installed sudo apt-get install build-essential 3. Extract the driver source and build it mkdir /tmp/build-epson-driver cd /tmp/build-epson-driver tar zxvf [DOWNLOAD LOCATION]/epsoneplijs-0.4.1.tgz ./configure make sudo make install 4. Make missing target directories sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/cups/model/foomatic-ppds/Epson/ sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/foomatic/db/source/{driver,opt,printer} 5. Copy driver files to required locations sudo cp -v foomatic_PPDs/Epson-EPL-*-cups.ppd.gz /usr/share/cups/model/foomatic-ppds/Epson/ sudo cp -v foomatic/driver/epl*.xml /usr/share/foomatic/db/source/driver/ sudo cp -v foomatic/opt/epsonepl-*.xml /usr/share/foomatic/db/source/opt/ sudo cp -v foomatic/printer/Epson-EPL-*.xml /usr/share/foomatic/db/source/printer 6. Copy the IJS server to the system-wide executable directory sudo cp -v ijs_server_epsonepl /usr/bin/ 7. Restart CUPS sudo restart cups --- My 5900L works well in Precise Pangolin after that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/34647 Title: ijs_server_epsonepl not found To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/foomatic-db/+bug/34647/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
