Epson XP-245 - Derekg - 09-30-2020
Hello, I had to install Linux Lite on a new hard drive, but having trouble installing the software and drivers for my printer a Epson XP-245. If i go to the website below and fill in my printer details, and click the Printer Driver and Scanner Driver, i don`t know which version to download. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Derekg,
With LL 5.0, there is a new version of CUPS.
Have you try to install your printer/Scanner WITHOUT drivers from Epson site ?
I use a XP-335 and I don't need to load drivers from Epson site and it works correctly under LL 5.0 ; on the test page it is specified "driver : drvless.ppd"
For scanner, don(t forget to stop firewall prior to start SANE.

Paul74, I installed LinuxLite 5.0 this afternoon, and cheers i`ll give that a go. Also i can`t get the scanner to scan.

Derekg,
In this case you will have some parameters to specify in ndifferent fils to get the scanner working !
In the directory /etc/sane.d :
1/ Modify the file dll.conf and activate following lines :
net
epson
epkowa
epson2
2/ Add or modify the file named epkowa.conf to add scanner ip adress and port 1865 : (in the exemple below, it's my epkowa.conf file)
net 192.168.1.152 1865
----------------
Replace by your printer ip adress
3/ Reboot the system and start Sane.

1/ You vill have to edit the file "/etc/sane.d/dll.conf" and suppress the "#" for the lines containing :
#net
#epson
#epson2
and add a line to specify :
epkowa
2/ Create the file "/etc/sane.d/epkowa.conf" and specify :
net aaa.bbb.c.d 1865
Note : replace aaa.bbb.c.d by the ip adress of your printer, it's generally the form "192.168.1.nnn"
To get printer adress :
1/ Start your printer and wait to get it in ready mode
2/ Use terminal and give the command lpinfo -v | grep -P '://'
3/ Reboot your system

I have edited the file "/etc/sane.d/dll.conf and saved it. How do i create a conf file ? And if i have to use su and password, it gives me

Re: Epson XP-245 - Paul74 - 10-03-2020
You need to use :
sudo gedit /etc/sane.d/dll.conf
and to specify your password when asked, be carefull, it's normal than the password doesn't appears !
And to create epkowa.conf :
sudo gedit /etc/sane.d/epkowa.conf
Re: Epson XP-245 - Derekg - 10-03-2020
I tried what you said and get this.
Quote:sudo: gedit: command not found
Re: Epson XP-245 - trinidad - 10-03-2020
Self explanatory. Gedit is not installed. Use sudo nano.
