Epson escpr not offering correct defaults [Solved]

hi

My Brother laser started self-harming and toner getting expensive after 5 years, so got Epson L14150 ink tank.

I tried the package in portage, because the default driverless setup in CUPS did not offer many options.

However the espcr package epson-inkjet-printer-escpr-1.8.4 does not give option for A3 printing, nor duplex ... It does load all the fancy Epson photo paper options though.

Is this normal behaviour?

I see the .deb and .rpm packages that Epson make available are still at 1.2.9 level... which I find a bit curious...

Any tips? I still need to sort out scanner after.

Thanks, ian

uninstalled 1.8.4, installed 1.2.9, and now have A3 and duplex options.

Does not seem to have "print resolution" settings, maybe that is normal.

Cheers, Ian
