check if the following packages are installed on your system:
Code: Select all
cups-filters-1.11.4_1 Additional backends, filters and other software for CUPS
gutenprint-cups-5.2.10_3 GutenPrint Printer Driver
epson-inkjet-printer-escpr-1.6.9 Epson Inkjet Printer Driver (ESC/P-R) for Linux
depending on the printer model, you might need to download the printer filter from Epson website.
well,
no chance for the Epson page, as they only support Windows and Mac, well, at least no hint for a ppd-file (typical
)
checked these packages above of course as it works same way as with Linux.
so, all are there, but I found a gutenprint-D120-ppd-file as gzipped .gz in "/usr/local/share/cups/model/gutenprint/5.2/Global/ and wondering, if this will be found by CUPS or where should I unzip and place it?
tried with the ppd-files directory of CUPS-filters, but it still says when to add printer in CUPS-Web: " could not detect list of printer-filters" or similar message...
and what does "no Error:0" means???
USB-printer issue SOLVED!
it WAS in fact due to unsufficient rights in adding the printer with "system-config-printer"!
calling this tool with root solved this issue of not completing the task!
best
