p { margin-bottom: 0.08in; } I am new to Ubuntu and need assistance in resolving printer error message,”Printer 'HOME_EPSON' requires the '/opt/epson-inkjet-printer-workforce-840-series/cups/lib/filter/epson_inkjet_printer_filter' program but it is not currently installed. Please install it before using this printer.” when I attempt to print
I created the printer using CUPS after downloading the printer drivers from the URL: http://www.openprinting.org/driver/epson-workforce-840/ extracting the .ppd file in my /home/usr/documents directory. Then I enabled the printer to be published in the server settings in the “Printing Manager” application located at systems>administration>printing.
The printer filter is located in my /home/usr/... directory and not in the /opt/OpenPrinting-Epson directory where the .ppd.gz are located and where the error message states it is looking for it. Do I need to extract the .ppd.gz in the /opt/OpenPrinting-Epson directory and install the filter in the same location? If so, could someone please provide me the correct steps including the commands?
Your assistance is truly appreciated!!
