I have an Epson L4168 printer, and luckily, Manjaro is able to automatically detect and install EPSON L4160 Series, driverless, cups-filters 1.28.10 for me. So printing works well.
I also noticed that many people are recommending epson-inkjet-printer-escpr in AUR. So is there any pitfall of the default driver (EPSON L4160 Series, driverless, cups-filters 1.28.10 )? Which one should I use?
Also, currently, I cannot use the scanner functionality. How can I install the correct scanner driver for L4168?
A few months befor I switch from brother to epson. I use āsimple-scanā for scanning and cant remember to install any scanner driver.
āSimple scanā looks after start for scanners and find my epson xp-4100 scanner in the network without any problem.
So you can try āsimple scanā on your side.
ā¦ I will also have a look if I had installed any driver for scanning still.
P.S. There is also the package āepsonscan2ā in the AUR which is (Epson says) the scanner driver for all this devices. But like I said it works without on my side.
GTK3 is merely the graphical toolkit used for its graphical interface. You can still use it on any desktop environment, though for UI consistency you might prefer an application with the same graphical toolkit.
