Re: Print Settings issue

Hey Doug McGarrett

You're using a different distro so I'm not sure if I can help you, but I would just like everyone to know that I think I've got it.  I am now able to print over wifi, and scan with both Xsane and Image Scan over wifi.

If you search for your printer here,
http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/
 in my experience, if it doesn't say that it requires lsb, then you can install it just fine.

If it says it requires lsb, then look at the Product Name, for example here:
http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/du/02/DriverDownloadInfo.do?LG2=EN&CN2=&DSCMI=18787&DSCCHK=cd4ad419e3805cfac26d6492d12e38fc7da11822

you can see that the driver is shared among several printer models.  Go to Print Settings, add printer and if you're printer model is not listed there, choose a model that uses the same driver as YOUR printer, and install it.

Same technique for the scanner driver.

Thanks!

I'm running a different distro--OpenSUSE Tumbleweed--and I am having a
lot or trouble tying to get to an Epson all-use printer, scanner, fax.
I had used XSane Scanner on a different Linux which has been severely
ruined (PCLOS) and it worked fine but I could never get it to scan with
TW, and now I can't seem to get it to print either. Why is printing and
scanning so difficult? VueScan doesn't find the scanner either.
