 Posted: Thu Oct 07, 2004 11:30 am Post subject: [Howto] EPKowa Epson Printerdriver and CUPS |
 |
|
I just wanted my Epson Stylus C66 USB printer to work. 
The gimp-print drivers worked fine (http://www.linuxprinting.org), but slow.
So I tried this How-to Epson Stylus Color (USB) Printer Installation with CUPS,
but there was no "EPSON Inkjet Printer #1 (Photo Image Print System)" in CUPS.
then I tried to install the drivers per lpadmin, and I got the error "lpadmin: add-printer (set device) failed: client-error-not-possible"
So here is the solution: The EPKowa driver must have the "libssl.so.0.9.6" and "libcrypto.so.0.9.6", or it won't work.
So just create links:
| Code: | 149790:/usr/lib # ln -sf libcrypto.so.0.9.7 libcrypto.so.0.9.6
149790:/usr/lib # ln -sf libssl.so.0.9.7 libssl.so.0.9.6 |
And it just worked fine for me!  |

I see this how to but de drivers dont compile, in the make comand exits whit an error:
| Code: | ....

I think the problem is in the binary file lib/libdtr.a
In this file have a address /home/ysd/branch/pips-devel/pips-closed/src/imgdetect.cc not mine....
if possible you send a libdtr.a file or your pips drivers file tar.gz |

That what happened when I tried to compile my drivers, has any one got an idea how can it be solved.

I was wondering what is the option that you add to makefile |

This procedure works for me :
1.)run make clean in your base directory
2.) run make distclean in your base directory
3.) cd to dtrfilter directory
4.) open Makefile.am with an editor
5.) find the line that reads something like :
dtrfilter_LDADD = -ldl -lm $(top_srcdir)/lib/libdtr.a
6.) add " -lpthread -ldl $(top_srcdir)/lib/libsprx420_425_430s.so" to the end of the line so that it reads like :
dtrfilter_LDADD = -ldl -lm $(top_srcdir)/lib/libdtr.a -lpthread -ldl $(top_srcdir)/lib/libsprx420_425_430s.so
7.) save your modified Makefile.am
8.)cd to base directory
9.) run automake
10.) run ./configure
11.) run make (should compile all of the way through without errors)
12.) run make install
This has worked for several different models of epson stylus printers
just substitute the lib/sprxxxxxxxxx.so file found in your distribution for step 6.

Well rbaer999
Finally (I hope) after 2 or 3 days of searching, asking on the gentoo forum, and fiddling, this seems to have finally worked. I have just printed out this thread perfectly. I have a epson rx620 and the compiling worked on pips-sprx620_630s-2.6.2. I wasn't sure how to get the driver going on gentoo kernell 2.6.13. I used kde control center printer program and the driver seemed to be there.
I am reluctant, however, to say that it is fixed since this all started when I installed a wireless keyboard and mouse through usb, same as printer. The printer worked fine before now then it accepted jobs but would stick a quater way, I was also using the rx600 which probably was'nt the right driver but there were no other options.
Anyway, I will keep my fingers crossed. Thanks

Hi
I'm afraid it did not solve my problem. The printer accepts the job but stick quarter way through and dmesg gives error drivers/usb/class/usblp.c: usblp0: error -71 reading printer status. There is some kind of conflict between the usb wireless keyboard/optical mouse and the usb epson printer. I am compiling the latest kernel with ochi excluded and couple other options. This is frustrating and would put one off linux really.

Hi!
After change Makefile.am with this option:
| Code: |
trfilter_LDADD = -ldl -lm $(top_srcdir)/lib/libdtr.a -lpthread -ldl $(top_srcdir)/lib/libnspr4.so
|
when run "make" command, i have this error!

Hi
I got as far a Chickpea above and set up a printer in http://127.0.0.1:631/ which sets up a printer on Device URI: ekplp:/var/ekpd/ekplp0. However the docs said
'ekpd is the communication daemon for bidirectional communication with
a printer. It is necessary to start ekpd to use printer. Usually ekpd
automatically starts when starting Linux. If it is not running,
execute the following command with the root authority.
(Ex. Redhat system of Linux)
/etc/rc.d/init.d/ekpd start '
There is no ekpd in my init.d and I read somewhere to copy epkd from /usr/local/EPKowa/SPRX620_630S/. But there is ekpd.lsb, ekpd.redhat, ekpd.slackware and ekpd.debian. I copied the debian version and I get
rc-update add ekpd.debian default
* ekpd.debian added to runlevel default
* rc-update complete.
Then I did
/etc/init.d/ekpd.debian start
Starting ekpd: ekpd.
However, when I send a test page in cups web page nothing happens.
Here's whats in /etc/ekpdrc
PrinterName = sprx620_630s
PrinterDevicePath = /dev/usb/lp0
DummyDevicePath = /var/ekpd/ekplp0
CommandServerPort = 35586
Has anyone got these drivers going in gentoo?
Any ideas please.

Great, it worked but I had to add a little mod: edit $(top_srcdir)/ekpstm/inkbox.h and comment out the line 52. Otherwise you get a compilation error about duplicated prototype and such... Just in case anyone else is experiencing that weird problem |

I followed rbaer999's hints but I've got a compilation error:

I'm also try to comment out the line 52 in $(top_srcdir)/ekpstm/inkbox.h as 6thpink say:
| Code: | | # enum Inkset_Id inkbox_get_inkid( unsigned long id ); |
but it doesn't change anything.
EDIT
I solved this problem by type ";" at the end of 73 line in ekpsm/main.c but I get new problem.
I follow by /usr/local/EPKowa/SC65_66S/readme-sc65_66s-cups but my printer doesn't print anything. |
