Re: Epson XP-245 - Derekg - 10-03-2020

I did exactly what you said to do, and created the epkowa.conf file and added my settings to net aaa.bbb.c.d 1865 and saved it. Rebooted my computer and did a test print, but it was firing blanks.

So i deleted that printer and added a new one, under select device and went through the setup. I did a test print and that worked.

I downloaded the scanner driver and followed the README guide, and when i type ./install.sh. It gives this error message.

Trinidad, it is not Self explanatory if you don`t know what your really doing !


Re: Epson XP-245 - Paul74 - 10-04-2020

Use    sudo ./install.sh  from the directory where you download the driver.


Re: Epson XP-245 - Derekg - 10-04-2020

I used sudo ./install.sh in the directory of the driver i downloaded, but still get the same error message.

This is getting over-complicated.

Undo ALL that you have done to date, I don't know why people are suggesting what they have so far. I'm sure the intent is good, but the research needs to be 100% accurate.
Don't do ANY of the below until you have undone previous work. Remove any Epson printers listed in Printers, then reboot before proceeding.

Download - https://download2.ebz.epson.net/imagescanv3/ubuntu/lts1/deb/x64/imagescan-bundle-ubuntu-20.04-3.63.0.x64.deb.tar.gz

Extract package.

Open extracted folder. Right click Open Terminal here.

Code:
sudo su

enter password.

Code:
./install.sh

follow instructions.

If you get errors, it will be because you have missed a step or not followed the instructions provided to the letter.

The printer is already supported by the kernel. If for some reason the printer does not set up and self-config, do:

Code:
sudo apt-get install printer-driver-escpr

or

Re: Epson XP-245 - Derekg - 10-04-2020

Jerry, i did what you said and got no errors when installing the driver software. I rebooted my computer and did a test with the scanner, and it works so does the printing. Cheers for everyone that helped out.
