I can't install the epson L380 driver

Hello, I can’t use my new Epson L380 printer. The driver is missing!
Can you help me please

Hi @Doudou,

What do you mean

It’s in in the AUR:

$ pamac search epson
[...]
epson-inkjet-printer-201601w  1.0.0-3                                        AUR
    Epson printer driver (L380/L382)
[...]

So can easily be installed using:

pamac build epson-inkjet-printer-201601w

Hope this helps!

Please post the output of:

pamac search --installed automake

:bangbang::bangbang: Tip

If your language isn’t English, please prepend any and all terminal commands with LC_ALL=C. For example:

LC_ALL=C bluetoothctl

This will just cause the terminal output to be in English, making it easier to understand and debug.

The command aclocal is missing
It is part of automake,
which, in turn, is part of the group of programs that are required to have installed
when you want to use the AUR.

You are very likely missing all of those.
Install the base-devel package group
and try again.
