I'm running Fossapup64 with CUPS 2.3.1, and I downloaded the Current EPSON linux drivers, which appear to install alright, in other words all the Epson drivers show up in CUPS browser gui. Seems the logical place to get answers is from the Puppy Community. Apparently from some web searches, the "filter failed" error is pretty common, and appears to be caused by various different factors on different distros and different versions of CUPS and affects printers of many makes and models.

I bought an Epson ET-3170, because I liked the refillable bottle ink format, and the DPI was really good, and I figured CUPS could drive it. So, I am at your 'next stage' because I can not think of what to do with my very limited knowledge in (Puppy) Linux.Īt the risk of being boring, please remember to KISS, thanks. The EPSON did appear in the LibreOffice printer choice menu. In LibreOffice tried to print my 'one page text file' and - nothing, not even a blank page this time. In CUPS tried a Test Print and received - Stopped "Filter failed" - message. The EPSON did appear in the Printer Added page. As far as I know I haven't got one of those. I think that stands for PostScript Printer Description. Again negative.ĬUPS was asking for a PPD file to be provided. Used Terminal (# Apt Install LSB and Apt Install LSB) but Bash came back negative on both.Īlso used pFind file finder using LSB as search All files.

These are both direct download links, BTW. Epsons almost never function with the built-in CUPS 'Gutenprint' drivers.unless you have a very early Epson. If you've already performed this step, let us know, and we'll proceed to the next step. For my elderly SX-218 (fore-runner of the WorkForce-series), it's 3 packages.and they MUST be installed in a specific order, since each package relies on the contents of the previous package already being present on the system.

You're getting the easy option nowadays the scanner driver is an all-in-one package.

If you also need the scanner driver - Epson insist on installing these as two separate packages, despite being in one chassis! - you can find that here:.

Then do a search for Additional Drivers and launch it.I'll assume you're aware that you need to download & install the Epson Linux driver for this series, yes? If not, you'll find it here:.

Ubuntu-based distributions have an Additional Drivers tool to enable you to install proprietary drivers.

This means that that Linux distributions won’t be able to automatically enable them for you. Some printer manufacturers have their own proprietary and closed-source drivers. You can go to the printer manufacturer’s official website to find and download the appropriate driver based on the model number.Įach printer’s brand installation will vary so be sure to follow the directions carefully. So, what can you do? Download Your Driver Some older printers were not designed to work with the open-source operating system or the latest version of Ubuntu.Īlternatively, if your printer is very new, it might not have been added yet to Ubuntu’s database. Check both ends of the USB cable to make sure the connection is secure. If you have an older printer or have moved it from one location to another, you could have a loose connection. Did you properly connect the power cables and USB (if the printer is not using wireless)? One of the simplest things to check is the connection. You can either look at the printer manufacturer documentation or follow the steps below. There are various reasons for this that range from simple to complex. There will be times when your Ubuntu OS won’t find a connected printer. When you don’t need a color copy, you can change that option to Black and White or Grayscale. If you are looking to save money because print cartridges can be expensive, you might want to only use Color when necessary. Pay attention to the Output Mode in the image above. However, the main principles are the same across all printers. Keep in mind that every printer is going to be slightly different.
