OpenSUSE Hardware :: Setting Up Epson Stylus SX420W Printer / Scanner
Mar 17, 2011
I am trying to set up my Epson Stylus SX420W printer (via USB) on a fresh install of 11.4. I have found a driver called 'epson-inkjet-printer-nx420-1.0.0-1lsb3.2.x86_64.rpm', which I guess is right for my Intel Core i5-system on the Avasys-site that Epson refers to for Linux drivers.
I have downloaded the driver and installed it via Right-Click -> Open With -> Install/Remove Software, which seemed to go well. When I open Yast -> Hardware -> Printer -> Add, my printer is found all right, but 'No matching driver found'. Iam quite new to Linux.

I was able to get my Epson Stylus NX510 printer up and running (after much issue), but I can't get the scanner working. I'm on a laptop, and the printer/scanner is wifi enabled and broadcasts with its own IP address. I can print with no problem, but xsane and simple scan don't recognize the scanner. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx.

I've used windows all of my life, and never really looked at Linux, so thought it would be a good time to see outside of the box! I installed Ubuntu 9.10 a couple of weeks ago after reading a few Linux Newbie books and deciding it would be the best distro for me. Being completely new with Linux it's proving difficult doing certain things which I would have done with a couple of clicks in Windows, however I've managed to get past some of the problems after hours of searching and messing about. I managed to set my wireless network up, and with a great struggle my wireless printer using cups- which now seems to be printing fine over the network, its IP is 192.168.0.105. However even after reading lots of info and tutorials on Forums & Blogs nothing seems to work regards to my scanner (which is an all-in-one printer SX515W).
The information is completely overwhelming. I've been told to use iscan with the network plugin which I downloaded from [URL] after installing and running image scan or xscan the printer would scan for a couple of seconds and then it would stop, and I'd have to reset my printer. I read the documents supplied, blogs, and forums telling me to do certain things such as:
Code:
sudo gedit /etc/sane.d/epkowa.conf
add "net 192.168.0.105 1865"
sudo gedit /etc/sane.d/dll.conf
[code]....
Like I said, being new to Linux I'm completely lost with what I'm doing or what I should be listing here! This is my last resort really, if I still can't get this thing working I may just give up because it's so stressfull!

I'm new to openSUSE and have only used Ubuntu. I have a Epson Stylus NX110 all in one printer. All I really care about is the print capabilities, scanning is a secondary issue. Suse recognizes the printer but doesn't have a driver for it. On Ubuntu I had to use the NX105 drivers but they worked just fine.

I am searching for a printer driver for my Epson Stylus NX420 Printer/Scanner. Should I use a generic Epson driver from the extensive default list, or is there a better driver out there? re: I'm running OpenSuse 11.2 and KDE

I want to setup my Epson Stylus (515W)-A letter before the 5 but not sure what. Basically when I open CUPS I click on add on new printer, I enter add printer but then the page says access denied. Also this is a network printer.

I got my Epson stylus NX510 all-in-one printer (just the actual printer worked, couldn't get the scanner recognized) working in Ubuntu Lucid Lynx. I'm currently attempting a dual boot with OpenSuse 11.3, but when I go to download the driver for it like I did in Ubuntu (and it worked) I get the following error messages:
(I'm downloading epson-inkjet-printer-stylus-tx550w-series-1.0.0-1lsb3.2.i486.rpm)
[PK_TMP_DIR|dir:///var/tmp/TmpDir.nT6NON] Repository already exists.
failed to install file: [PK_TMP_DIR|dir:///var/tmp/TmpDir.nT6NON] Repository already exists.
I have no idea what that means. I would be very very grateful if someone could assist me in getting this stupid thing up and running.

In 11.3 I used an Epson Stylus Color 600 which worked well enough.
Now I'm quite disappointed that this so called 'best version ever' (11.4) refuses to recognize this printer.
The modules parport, parport_pc, and lp are all loaded. My printer is on and connected, but OpenSuse claims that there is nothing.

Haven't been able to get my scanner to work on my Epson Stylus CX7450. XSane doesn't seem to support my scanner. Is there a way around this?

I currently have an EPSON Stylus SX400 that I've connected to my Dell Desktop running Ubuntu Lucid Linux. Though Ubuntu installed the printer at a great speed , it didn't install the scanner. Where can I get drivers to install the scanners, all the software I use do not discover a device?

I have an Epson CX4300 on Ubuntu 10.10 and I can't get it to scan. I loaded the driver for CX4200 since CX4300 isn't listed in [URL]
sane-find-scanner finds the scanner but scanimage doesn't:
ilan@ilan-main:~$ sane-find-scanner -q
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8, product=0x083f) at libusb:003:002
ilan@ilan-main:~$ scanimage -L
No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different, check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
XSane also reports No Devices available and number 4 in their possible reasons is The backend is not loaded by SANE (man sane-dll). I get: ilan@ilan-main:~$ man sane-dll No manual entry for sane-dll
I do get a man for sane-epson so that hints that the epson driver exists. The fact that sane-dll doesn't seem to exist is probably the problem. I'm using libsane in the Synaptic Package Manager and that is supposed to supply the backends. Should it include sane-dll?

My printer failed recently and I was given a refurbished Epson stylus NX305 Printer scanner. Cannot get my system to recognize it. Running UberStudent (Debian based) Linux on a Dell Dimension. Have tried everything I could find on the web but nothing works. Scanner not recognized by software.

I'm trying to set up my EPSON Stylus TX120 multifunction, and i've successfully installed the printer, and for the scanner i followd the instructions from avasys page: installed iscan-data and iscan (core) compiling them from source with no problems using --prefix=/usr in both packages, but when i run sane-find-scanner no scanner is found. If i try using scanimage -L only my webcam is listed, so, is there anything else i have to do in order to get my scanner detected in slack 13.37? I've run both commands as root, by the way.

We recently got an Epson Stylus TX550W Printer/Scanner unit, shared over Wi-Fi with both Windows/Ubuntu PC's, while I have the printing working flawlessly, I don't know where to start to get the scanner working. I've Googled, but haven't come up with much, checked the Ubuntu documentation, apparently Ubuntu (9.10 & earlier, nothing about 10.04) don't automatically detect networked printers, is there a way to get it to recognize without editing config files, which I hate doing? I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit.

I have an epson cx7800 printer/scanner that 11,3 doesn't detect on USB. I tried Yast-Hardware-printers and Yast-Hardware-printers and nothing is discovered/detected.
Are there repos for this stuff and is there a tutorial like the one for graphic card theory I could peruse?

I've been trying to get my Epson NX420 printer to scan for about three months now, and I finally got it working. Here's how:
1. Go to [URL] and search for your printer. Select distribution and version and answer a couple of other questions.
2. Download pipslite_1.5.0-2_i386.deb, (or the 64-bit version), and all the iscan*.deb files (again, appropriate to your system).
3. [CRITICAL] Go to [URL] and download this 8.04 package which worked just fine for me on 10.10.
4. Use the Software Center or GDebi or sudo dpkg -i the .debs in this order:
1) libtdl3, which is a dependency for Step 2.
2) pipslite
3) iscan-data
4) iscan-network
5) iscan
(If you use a USB connection, you don't need the iscan-network file.) This got my NX420 scanner up and running just fine. Installing libtdl3 was the key; in fact, I used the Debian Lenny package.

I can't use my printer/scanner - it is an Epson TX110. When I try to use Image scan - I get the message; "Could not send the command to scanner. Check the scanner's status."
There is nothing wrong with the MFC apart from not working on Ubuntu 9.10. I have had it connected to another computer that ran Ubuntu 9.01 (I think that was the release used) and it ran fine but now I'm stuck -
I have drivers installed but cant get them to co-operate with me.

I made a fresh install of openSuse 11.3 and can't make to work my printer (Epson Stylus T23) The system detected the printer, and I installed "pips-st20-SuSE10.3-3.1.0-CG.install" driver. In this way, printer work properly in openSuse 11.2
I installed "gutenprint 5.2.5-1lsb3.2" as suggested at 11.2 upgrade to 11.3 - Epson printer broken.
Anyway, when I send something to print, CUPS say:
Printer status: Idle - "Processing page 1..."
Job state: stopped
"/usr/lib/cups/filter/pips-wrapper failed"

Now to printers. The system searched for drivers-not found. This one doesn't seem to be supported. But is it ok to install some epson driver which would be closest to this model? And I count that only printing will work, but not scanning.

just started to use Linux and after installing a few distro's have settled for Opensuse 11.2 gnome as it suits me, however i seem to be having problems finding a driver for the Epson Stylus R240 printer. Is there an alternative driver that is compatible for this printer, (I really don't want to have to go back to windows because of a printer driver)

I am unable to install the drivers in OpenSuse 11.3 for an Epson Stylus SX218. The printer is not Linux friendly and the drivers hard to find but I have been able to install it in Ubuntu 10.04 and thought the procedure would be the same but it is not.

I'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.
