This is a little embarrassing, but I have now come to the conclusion that there is some error in my printer. I did try ubuntu 15.10, but then it occurred to me that I also should try older ubuntus, so I downloaded 12.04 and got the same result.
I then got my sons macbook once more and the printer failed yet again. This has taken some time due to a tight time schedule in the new year. I am sorry for this. Btw: the printer still works under windows 7, but even then there is some glitches, I have to press the paper feed button from time to time etc. I don’t know what I should do with my bug report, retract or mark as solved? Thanks for the help. I have ordered a new printer (repairs are way to costly in Norway) Yours truly Bjørn Forbord On 03. jan. 2016 18:22, Pascal De Vuyst wrote: > In Ubuntu 15.10 please provide your > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems#CUPS_error_log and > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems#USB_printer_does_not_print_or_prints_garbage > -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gutenprint in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1529458 Title: ubuntu 14.04: Epson Stylus Photo 2100 "missing print filter" Status in gutenprint package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Ubuntu 14.04 on a Dell precision T3400 64bit. lsb_release -rd: Description: Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS Release: 14.04 apt-cache policy cups cups: Installert: 1.7.2-0ubuntu1.7 Kandidat: 1.7.2-0ubuntu1.7 Versjonstabell: *** 1.7.2-0ubuntu1.7 0 500 http://no.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/main amd64 Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-security/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1.7.2-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://no.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages Since I upgraded from 12.04 to 14.04 this printer has not worked well. Sometimes it prints after repeatedly pressing the paper feed button. I often get the error message: "missing print filter". I have had the printer for approx. 10 years, and it worked well before 14.04. I have tested on a windows 7 laptop and on a mac. Both work well. Conclusion: printer is working. Someting has happened to cups or the cups driver for this printer. I have tried the Open Printing user forum and only gotten a report from someone with the same problem I attach the error log (/var/log/cups/error_log) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gutenprint/+bug/1529458/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
