Epson ET-3850 EcoTanker

[richramik]

Just re-installed 18.04 because of the problems I was having with 20.04. At any rate I have the Epson ET-3850 EcoTanker.

I was provided the following terminal command line: lsusb -v | grep -A 3 bInterfaceClass.*7

I ran it and got the following results.

rich@rich-500-164:~$ lsusb -v | grep -A 3 bInterfaceClass.*7

This tells us the device understands the IPP-over-USB protocol.

Go to https://download.opensuse.org/reposi...u_18.04/amd64/. Down;oad and install ipp-usb and sane-airscan. Disconnect from USB. Reconnect. Give the outputs of

avahi-browse -rt _ipp._tcp

avahi-browse -rt _uscan._tcp

scanimage -L

airscan-discover

(I assumed you wanted a USB connection).

Have you successfully installed the printer drivers coming from Epson website? You should have too. This will hep you a lot. Good Luck and Regards.

[richramik]

Following are the results of the terminal command line inputs. Note that I ran it twice in the event I screwed up.

Well some days I wake up and forget who I am!!!!!! The printer is actually an EPSON ET-4850.

I went out to the Epson website and didn't find anything related to Linux or Ubuntu. Where may I ask did you find the drivers????

Some days I wake up and forget who I am!!!!!! The printer is actually an EPSON ET-4850.

After entering your model in search box, look for epson drivers for et-4850 at bottom of page that opens, http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/se...h/searchModule

[richramik]

Today I know who I am. My name is in my under ware: CHAMPION. lololol Have to giggle at least once to start the day.

At any rate, should I re-run the following commands after visiting the download.ebz.epson.net...... website???? The assumption is that I would use the All-in-one package?????

avahi-browse -rt _ipp._tcp
avahi-browse -rt _uscan._tcp
scanimage -L
airscan-discover

Rich, you only gave the output of scanimage -L last time and that wasn't very useful. There are four commands and ipp-usb and sane-airscan have to be installed. My advice above has nothing to do with Epson drivers.

[richramik]

Brian:

Understand. Not sure how I missed them. Will take care of this when I get home this evening.

Thanks,
Rich Ramik

[richramik]

I re-ran the commands, all four this time. Following are the entries and results. Both have been highlighted as BOLD.
