I just switched to Manjaro from Kubuntu. Kubuntu simply found the network printer and worked. I am not having the same success with Manjaro. When I use the “Add New Printer” tool, it lists the printer as a “Discovered Network Printer”, but when I click on it, nothing happens. “Next” and “Finish” buttons stay grey, and the “Address” stays blank. I have entered the IP address, then I was able to click next. But I can’t find any drivers that work.
I have found Linux drivers on the Epson website for .deb or .rpm, but am not sure how I would use them. Or exactly which one to choose if I did…
epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2-1.1.51-1lsb3.2.i486.rpm
epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2_1.1.51-1lsb3.2_i386.deb
epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2-1.1.51-1lsb3.2.x86_64.rpm
epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2_1.1.51-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb
epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2-1.1.51-1lsb3.2.src.rpm
The website also says:
[Notice]
In order to install these drivers, you need to install LSB package (version 3.2 or later) beforehand.Ubuntu: # apt install lsb
Fedora: # yum install lsb
openSUSE: # yast --install lsb
Any insight or direction is greatly appreciated.
