Greetings.
I have not been able to install the epson l800 (usb) printer, I have converted the .rpm or .deb driver with tazpkg convert, it converts it well, I install it well, but when I enter cups with the web browser the driver does not appear... but if I do shortcut: ln -s /opt/epson-inkjet-printer-l800/ppds /usr/share/ppd/epson-inkjet-printer-l800
Now you can see it in the driver in cups, but when printing it gives an error, and I have to: sudo chown root -R /opt/epson-inkjet-printer-l800/cups/lib/filter
But when printing it generates a filter error.
I appreciate any help

Hi Nnado,

What i see seem driver only available for x86_64 arch on epson page
https://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/du/02/DriverDownloadInfo.do?LG2=EN&CN2=&DSCMI=156510&DSCCHK=79073435ccb6dbe3e7211572ef813e84ae3b681a

epson-inkjet-printer-l800-1.0.1-1.x86_64.rpm
epson-inkjet-printer-l800_1.0.1-1_amd64.deb

How SliTaz version do you use ?

If you try to convert and use it on rolling, not work because rolling it's 32bits.
Infact on rpm package i see lib64 folder with libEpson_l800.so.1.0.1 (in case not be load on 32bits userland)

I see src file provided (epson-inkjet-printer-l800-1.0.1-1.src.rpm), i check to do package.

I build epson-inkjet-printer-l800 package but in src lib only build for x86_64.

For i386, seem need to use legacy packages i found here :
http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/op/stable/debian/dists/lsb3.2/epson-inkjet-printer-l800/binary-i386/epson-inkjet-printer-l800_1.0.0-1lsb3.2_i386.deb

let's me check to adjust receipt to use this package for 32bit and epson-inkjet-printer-l800-1.0.1-1.src.rpm for x86_64

Cups error attached.
Could it be because the lsb package also has to be installed?

Hi all,

may be, have you seen already this : it seems that perl is necessary (see lines 33, 34, 37, 42 from postint file in .deb package).

I hope this helps.

Hello Nnado,

have you try on another USB port ? :-/

The preinstall file does :
```
#!/bin/bash

# Create some directories if they are missing. Usually, they should exist
if [ "1" = "1" ]; then
mkdir /opt 2>/dev/null || true
mkdir /etc/opt 2>/dev/null || true
mkdir /var/opt 2>/dev/null || true
fi
```
Do these dir exist ? I presume, yes.

You'll find the postinstall file in attachment.

Is the trigger added (triggers file in .deb packqage) ?
```
# Triggers added by dh_makeshlibs
activate-noawait ldconfig
```
I haven't other idea... Sorry

The postinstall was denied.
I repost it in a zip container.

Hi all,
premised that generally the “filter failed” error is almost always a driver problem, but to elaborate, you can look at the cups logs (/var/log/cups/access_log /var/log/cups/error_log) which may give further details on the cause.

Salve a tutti,
premesso che in genere l'errore “filter failed” è quasi sempre un problema del driver, ma per approfondire, si può analizzare i log di cups (/var/log/cups/access_log /var/log/cups/error_log) che potrebbero dare ulteriori dettagli sulla causa.

Normally i do symlink :/, /usr/lib/cups/filter/epson_inkjet_printer_filter > /opt/epson-inkjet-printer-l800/cups/lib/filter/epson_inkjet_printer_filter

Also bottom, seem see ghostscript error

D [28/Nov/2024:20:18:36 +0100] [Job 34] End of messages

If we can have more cups logs, think better to found issue.
