Has anyone got this set up and working properly? I have read god knows how many things on how to do this but still have been unable to get it to work. I tried using gimp with a downloaded template but it all came out the wrong size etc. I am not too bothered about printing images, just text.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI've been having some problems recently with Ubuntu and my Printer. I find that when using ubuntu, ink drains much faster, and constant refills are required. I know the printer works fine, I use it on windows when ubuntu Fails. Today I was trying to print a colour document out, this was with default config, standard print quality etc., this was the result. On the left you can see the document before printing, and on the right the printed document. (Click to open image in new window)

How to just get normal quality printing, without having to revert to ... windows? How can I consult the ink levels of the DX4450 from Ubuntu. I have tried both MtInk and Epsutils and both failed.
Epson PX720WD Wireless Network Printing For setting up wireless printing for Epson PX720WD
System -> Adminstration -> Printing and click Add to select New Printer
Under Printer Type select Network Printer This will open a drop-down list. Select AppSocket/HP JetDirect
This will show two text boxes called Host: and Port: for Host: you need to put the IP address of the printer. Leave the Port: as the default 9100
You can determine the IP of the printer by pressing the Setup key on the printer, then select Network -> Network Settings -> Display Wireless Summary If the printer is currently connected to the network, it's IP address will be listed.
Enter the IP address and select Forward
Now you need to choose your printer driver.

It will suggest that you use the Epson Stylus Photo PX72OWD Series-epson-inkjet-printer 1.0.0-1lsb3.2 (Seiko Epson Corporation LSB 3.2) [en] (recommended) driver. This is correct. Click Forward and Apply
Unless your have the drivers installed already ignore the driver setup just below:
Describe Printer, enter the following details:
Printer Name: Epson-Stylus-Photo-PX720WD-1
Description: Epson-Stylus-Photo-PX720WD-1
Location: wherever
Click Apply
Now you can go back to the printers box and right-click your new printer and select Make Default.
I've been able to print with other distros (Mint, Sabayon) without problem so I'm guessing the way my printer is configured with Slack must be wrong. My CX6600 is recognized and when I try to print, it responds, but by printing a page filled with black ink. I have tried printing in Okular, Firefox and OpenOffice with the same result.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm running OpenSUSE 11.0 (64 bit). I have an Epson Stylus Photo R300 printer that used to work just fine. Apparently there was an update to the CUPS software that I applied and now the printer is no longer working.
Through examining the error_log file in /var/log/cups I found that two files were missing from /usr/lib/cups/filter. These files existed in the /usr/lib64/cups/filter directory so I linked them to the /usr/lib/cups/filter directory. That cleared up two errors.
When I send a "Print Self Test Page" command from the CUPS Printers page, I get the following error:
Returning IPP client-error-document-format-not-supported for Print-Job (ipp://localhost:631/printers/EPSON_Stylus_Photo_R300) from localhost
When I attempt to send a print job from an application like gedit or OpenOffice Writer, I get the following error:
Returning IPP client-error-document-format-not-supported for Send-Document (ipp://localhost:631/printers/EPSON_Stylus_Photo_R300) from localhost
I've crawled all through the openSUSE forums and 'googled' all sorts of variations for these errors and found nothing useful. I'm hoping someone here might have a clue as to where I might go next to fix this.
Like I said, it was working before and now it's not so there must be something in a recent CUPS release that has messed things up.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI expected more from ubuntu 10.4 with regards to printing with exact size photos and with poor auto colour printing but the situation remains unchanged! for instance .. the photo size configurations for ubuntu/fspot/gimp and others are not compatible with my printers (HP and Brother) .. here in Europe a typical standard size photo (10x15inches or 150x100mm are not even on the Ubuntu listing? I have tried all listed possibilities including "custom" (which does not seem to ever work correctly?)and the result at best is photos with uneven boarders or at worse my printer goes a bit crazy with much wasted photo paper and expensive ink ...even photos selected for "no boarders" still produces photos with the self same uneven boarders.
I have tried pretty much everything over time following advice in this forum and including using HPlip and updating drivers required for my Brother printer but the root problem seemingly lies with the Ubunto photo size setup listing. Working with Ubuntu over the years I have found that it can do pretty much everything that Windows can do except for this dam ongoing photo quality and configuration problem.
I recently installed Fedora 14. Unfortunately, the scanner on my Epson CX3200 is not detected by the system. When i open 'Simple Scan', it shows i have a Epson CC-570L, and i don't know what to do to change it, so that it 'sees' my scanner. how i can change the scanner in 'Simple Scanner' to my CX3200?

View 1 Replies View RelatedHow can I get my Epson workforce 500 to work on my new install of opensuse 11.2?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am on Debian 6 and am trying to set up an Epson M1200 laser printer. The Avasys site has nothing for this model, so I downloaded the stuff for the EPL6200, which an Internet search described as compatible. When installing the printer, it is recognised as an M1200 but when selecting from among the Epson options it is not offered as one. Therefore I pointed to the PPD file for the EPL6200. I am unable to print anything, not even a printer test page.

I installed "gutenprint 5.2.5-1lsb3.2" as suggested at 11.2 upgrade to 11.3 - Epson printer broken.

I completely uninstall windows from my computer I'm able to do everything a used to do on Windows now on Linux, and even more... except for one thing... I cannot see the ink levels of my printer. It's a multifunction Epson Stylus TX110. I installed escputil and used the command "sudo escputil -i -u -r /dev/usblp0", the printer then starts making noise and no matter how long I wait, it never presents any info or displays the message: "device is busy" with no info about the ink levels.

I want to send Epson ESC sequences to control the printer from terminal.
I figured out if I send
Quote:
echo $FF>/dev/lp0
that is equal to sending 'FF' control sequence. But I have problem when I need to send sequences like,
1. ESC 0 . I sent
Quote:
echo $ESC $0>/dev/lp0
,
Quote:
echo $"ESC 0">/dev/lp0
. They do not work as expected.
2. ESC HT 5 4 (To control Horizontal Tabbing)
How can it be done in bash?
