How to install Epson ET-3700

[mblossom]

I am running Ubuntu 18.04.1 on a PC with Intel Core2 Duo.

Trying to install an Epson ET-3700.

System searches for but is unable to find correct driver.

Epson lists drivers to download for Ubuntu here:

http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/du...2575418d70ea49

... with the following options:

epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2_1.1.2-1lsb3.2_i386.deb	1.86 MB
epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2-1.1.2-1lsb3.2.x86_64.rpm	1.66 MB
epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2_1.1.2-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb	1.86 MB
epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2-1.1.2-1lsb3.2.src.rpm epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2-1.1.2-1lsb3.2.i486.rpm 1.66 MB	2.45 MB

Information

[Notice] In order to install these drivers, you need to install LSB package (version 3.2 or later) beforehand. Ubuntu: # apt-get install lsb Fedora: # yum install lsb OpenSUSE: # yast --install lsb

... but I have no idea how to proceed.

Many thanks,

~Mark

Hi, welcome to the fora.

Please run the three commands

sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade
sudo apt install lsb

one at a time and post the output in CODE tags.

You do not need any vendor drivers to print with the ET-3700. Put the printer on the network and execute

driverless

to get a URI and substitute in

lpadmin -p et3700 -v URI -E - m everywhere

Test printing with

lp -d et3700 /etc/nsswitch.conf

All-in-all, a five minute task.

The OP receives two quality responses and then doesn't respond. What a waste of everyone's time and effort!
