I want to thank Joe B <jcb202...@gmail.com> for the suggestion to also install the printer-driver-escpr pkg, and David Wright <deb...@lionunicorn.co.uk> to whom I want to say that Epson Connect is the app for Smartphones Android that I have used to print in the last few days by transferring files from the PC to the Smartphone.
As for Thorsten Alteholz <deb...@alteholz.de> who closed the Bugreport #1079243 that I had opened, stating: “Anyway, as others reported to be able to successfully print to that printer model, I am afraid this is some kind of configuration problem on your side.” I would like to tell him that, if he wants to do the community a favor, he should reopen it, in fact, I KNOW VERY WELL THAT THAT PRINTER WORKS WITH CUPS ON DEBIAN, in fact I have used it since September 2023 with the Debian that I have in another partition and which I installed in 2005 and I always updated up to Trixie, perhaps it wasn't clear what I wrote in the Bugreport: “Since I have the PPD file that worked on the other partition with Debian, ...”. However, frustrated by this response, I thought maybe it was a good thing to “remove –purge” Cups. Then I reinstalled, this time, among the suggested packages I loaded openprinting-ppds (I didn't know if it was a useful package or not, but anyway, I used, in the past, to download the drivers from openprinting!). When I tried to install the printer again, it gave me the same errors if I used “driverless” while, instead, it worked when I chose my printer model among those offered in the new (much longer) list of Epson printers. Maybe openprinting-ppds should be moved to "Recommended" from "Suggested" Thank you for reading. Aldo :-) > >
