Hi

I'm trying to print an Epson XP-100 printer connected locally via USB.
I downloaded the x86_64 driver as an rpm from here https://www.openprinting.org/printer/Epson/Epson-XP-100_Series
I converted the rpm to a tar and installed (it installs in /opt/epson-inkjet-printer-201204w)
I copied the ppd file to /usr/share/cups/model

CUPS has recognized the printer and the driver.

However, when I print a test page, I get a job state of :
stopped
"Filter failed"

I changed the cups debug level to debug and tried again - I get this line in /var/log/cups/error_log

Code:
D [08/Aug/2013:14:11:08 +1000] [Job 208] PID 4987 (/opt/epson-inkjet-printer-201204w/cups/lib/filter/epson_inkjet_printer_filter) stopped with status 102 (No such file or directory)


Now this file does exist /opt/epson-inkjet-printer-201204w/cups/lib/filter/epson_inkjet_printer_filter

Code:
file /opt/epson-inkjet-printer-201204w/cups/lib/filter/epson_inkjet_printer_filter
/opt/epson-inkjet-printer-201204w/cups/lib/filter/epson_inkjet_printer_filter: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.8, not stripped


but if i try to run it, i get

Code:
hippo:/opt/epson-inkjet-printer-201204w/cups/lib/filter {1.9.3p194} ./epson_inkjet_printer_filter
zsh: no such file or directory: ./epson_inkjet_printer_filter


Which explains the log message.

I guess I have to compile the filter from source.
So I downloaded the src.rpm file but there is no configure.ac or config file

Has anyone got an Epson XP-100 working on x86_64?
Or has anyone got any other avenues I could try?

Cheers
Colin

what an ugly nightmare, i had another epson that was an office series and it had tarballs, i prefer hp printer stuff over anything else because of their track record of supporting linux. (& emerge hplip ;-)

Thanks for the quick reply mate.
Tried it. No luck.
Downloaded epson-inkjet-printer-201204w_1.0.0-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb
Converted that to tar.gz with deb2targz
Removed old /opt/epson-inkjet-printer-201204w
Unpacked the .tar.gz as root in / so it installed in /opt/epson-inkjet-printer-201204w
Tried to execute the filter (/opt/epson-inkjet-printer-201204w/cups/lib/filter/epson_inkjet_printer_filter)
No such file or directory.

Are there any kernel setting i might be missing? i.e allow certain types of executables or something...

I just solved the same problem with my Epson WF-7010. It appears to be a missing link to a library as defined in the LSB 3.2 (which I don't believe Gentoo uses). By creating a symlink to the right library, I got the filter to work.


Code:
ln -sf /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3


I picked that command up from this Ubuntu bug report, which also mentions some other links, but I only needed the one listed above.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lsb/+bug/840998

I hope this helps!

Thanks, allan.

Worked for me with Epson Stylus Office BX635FWD. Printer was the final thing I had to set up under Gentoo for it to finally replace Ubuntu as my primary distro.

Hi all,

Epson WF-2010 Series - epson-inkjet-printer 1.0.0-1lsb3.2 (Seiko Epson Corporation LSB 3.2) (color, 2-sided printing) runs now on a 32bit system with this hack:
Code:
ln -s /lib/ld-linux.so.2 /lib/ld-lsb.so.3
