Epson 2630-WF problems on Lubuntu 18.04.3

**stilnovo1** · October 17th, 2019

Excuse me, I add another question: I've seen now on the Epson website that there is a new driver release from yesterday. How can I update them? I'm finding online only material on how to do a fresh install, but nothing on the ways to update them...

gives me no otuput... no error message, simply nothing.

Also the second one:

Code:

lpadmin -p wf2 -v ipp://EPSON18823B.local:631/ipp/print -E -m driverless:ipp://EPSON18823B.local:631/ipp/print

gives no results...

There is no output unless there is a warning or error to give the user. Nothing to worry about here.

The quite strange thing (to me!) is that a previous faulty command now gives a result:

Please see https://wiki.debian.org/CUPSDriverlessPrinting.

Code:

lpoptions -p wf1 -l
PageSize/Media Size: *A4 4x6 5x7 8x10 A5 A6 Legal Letter B5 3.5x5 Postcard Env10 EnvC6 EnvDL 5x8
MediaType/Media Type: *Stationery PhotographicHighGloss Photographic PhotographicSemiGloss PhotographicGlossy PhotographicMatte Envelope
ColorModel/ModalitÃ  colore: *RGB Gray
cupsPrintQuality/Print Quality: Draft *Normal

The wf1 queue is set up using the CUPS PPD generator.

Now also the other one gives back an answer:

Code:

lpoptions -p wf2 -l
PageSize/Media Size: 3.5x5 3.5x5.Borderless 4x6 4x6.Borderless 5x7 5x7.Borderless 5x8 8x10 8x10.Borderless *A4 A4.Borderless A5 A6 B5 Env10 EnvC6 EnvDL Legal Letter Letter.Borderless Postcard Postcard.Borderless Custom.WIDTHxHEIGHT
MediaType/Media Type: *Stationery PhotographicHighGloss Photographic PhotographicSemiGloss PhotographicGlossy PhotographicMatte Envelope
ColorModel/Print Color Mode: *RGB Gray
cupsPrintQuality/Print Quality: *4
print-scaling/Print Scaling: *auto auto-fit fill fit none

Same commands, same syntax, it's a mystery to me why before I had an error and now not... but anyway, now there is an output!

The wf2 queue is set up using the cups-filters generator.

Well, in Windows driver there is the 'manual' duplex option: it doesn't do itself, but the printer prints the odd pages first and then the even ones (you have to take the pages and put again in the printer on the other side). About the quality: in Windows you can choose draft, normal and high quality, since this printer can (should) have a max resolution of 5760 x 1440 dpi... in Lubuntu I don't understand the resolution that the printer is actually using.

Thanks in advance for your patience!

You can have manual duplex on Ubuntu using one of the methods at https://wiki.debian.org/CUPSTea4CUPS

The way the CUPS and cups-filters PPD generators choose what to offer for print quality is quite complex. Run

Code:

ipptool -tv ipp://EPSON18823B.local:631/ipp/print get-printer-attributes.test > log

and post log as an attachment.

You can delete any queue you do not want from system-config-printer. But note very carefully: wf1 and wf2 are different queues (different printers). Which one would you use for borderless printing?

You would have to provide a link to the new driver release for me to offer any advice.

Ciao Brian!

Well:

Code:

ipptool -tv ipp://EPSON18823B.local:631/ipp/print get-printer-attributes.test > log

Here there is no otuput...

Good question, I don't know: they are appeared after the two lpadmin commands that I've copied from you: apparently, they permit identical options.

Thanks for the two links that you have provided to me, I will read them.

epson link for the new drivers: http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/se...h/searchModule

Here, in the module I've written WF-2630.

The output is recorded in the file log. What does

Code:

less log

give you?

Nothey do not - wf1 and wf2 offer different options. Look at what you get for

Code:

lpoptions -p wf1 -l

and

Code:

lpoptions -p wf2 -l

The new package offers exactly the same PPD capabilities as the old package.

**brian_p** · October 19th, 2019

Hello Stilnovo1,

Is there some problem with getting an output with

Code:

ipptool -tv ipp://EPSON18823B.local:631/ipp/print get-printer-attributes.test

It would be interesting to see what it gives.
