[SOLVED]Printer working in Ubuntu, and not in Arch

Hello,

Well, it's a little bit weird tongue I bought a new printer, it's a Epson SX415.
Cups detects it as a Epson SX410, I tried to make it work with the following drivers:
102931375700.jpg

So, with the CUPS+gutenprint drivers, it seems to work (cups says job sent) but the printer doesn't make a move. With the foomatic drivers, cups says:

stopped
"/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip failed"

If it works with Ubuntu 10.10, I guess I'll be able to make it work under Arch, but currently I don't know how to do that :s

Thanks wink

Can you check what driver Ubuntu is using. Type http://localhost:631 to go to CUPS administration page.

Also epson provides a GPL driver for your printer and it is the recommended one according to http://www.openprinting.org/printer/Eps … ylus_SX415

it's available in the aur under the name epson-inkjet-printer-escpr

Re: [SOLVED]Printer working in Ubuntu, and not in Arch

Ubuntu is using the following driver:

Epson Stylus SX410 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.6 Simplified (color, 2-sided printing)

I'll check AUR wink

Re: [SOLVED]Printer working in Ubuntu, and not in Arch

I tried a few tricks like blacklisting the usblp module, tried again all the drivers, but It still don't work sad

I don't understand why it does not work when I'm using the same driver that Ubuntu uses.
