The software offers high quality printing with Seiko Epson color ink jet printers. This product can only be used with printers that support the Epson ESC/P-R language. Please see refer to follows for a list of supported printers. http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/?OSC=LX This software is based on LSB 3.2. It can be used in distribution supporting LSB 3.2 later. If it is used in non-LSB distribution, you can use it by building from the source code. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4 Installation and CUPS Setting ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.1 Installation 4.1.1 In the case of LSB supported distributions Choose the appropriate command for your distribution from the list below and execute it with root privileges. Note: The following package name differs depending on the version you are using. For Redhat based distributions: ----------------- # rpm -i epson-inkjet-printer-escpr-1.7.xx-1lsb3.2.i486.rpm ----------------- For Debian based distributions: ----------------- # dpkg -i epson-inkjet-printer-escpr_1.7.xx-1lsb3.2_i386.deb ----------------- 4.1.2 In the case of non-LSB supported distributions Refer to "6 How to build in non-LSB distribution". 4.2 Settings after installation CUPS must be set to enable use of this software. Before printing, be sure to carry out the following steps. 4.2.1 Restart CUPS Restart CUPS, to enable the installed filter. Execute the following command with root privileges. Example: With Red Hat Linux ----------------- # /etc/init.d/cups restart ----------------- With Debian GNU/Linux ----------------- # /etc/init.d/cupsys restart ----------------- 4.2.2 Add a printer Using commands Execute the following command with root privileges. ----------------- # lpadmin -p [PRINTER_NAME] -v [DEVICE_URI] -P [PPD_FILE] -E ----------------- Options: -p Specifies the setting name of the printer -E Enables the printer -v Specifies the driver and connection -P Specifies the setting file (PPD file) Example: With the PM-A950 printer ----------------- # lpadmin -p ep901a -v usb:/EPSON/EP-901A -P /opt/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr/ppds/EPSON/EPSON-EP-901A-epson-escpr-en.ppd.gz -E ----------------- For details of lpadmin, see lpadmin(8). Using a browser CUPS is provided with a CGI for settings so that you can set your printer using a browser. To add a printer, follow the steps below. Note: The following menu items might differ depending on the CUPS version and the environment used. (1) Turn on the printer, and please be connected to the PC with a USB cable. (2) Connect to CUPS Server (Port: 631) with the browser Example: When CUPS is on localhost, access the following URL. ----------------- http://localhost:631/ ----------------- (3) Select "Add Printer" (4) Enter a printer setting name in "Name", and select "Continue" (Other items are not mandatory) (5) In "Device", USB, and select "Continue" Example: With the EP-901A printer, "Model" is displayed as follows. ----------------- "EP-901A USB #1(EP-901A)" ----------------- (6) In "Model", set "EPSON-ESC/P-R Printer Driver for Linux", and select "Add Printer" Example: With the EP-901A printer, "Model" is displayed as follows. ----------------- "EPSON EP-901A, EPSON-ESC/P-R Printer Driver for Linux (en,en,ja,nl,fr,de,it,pt,es,ko,zh_CN,zh_TW)" ----------------- (6') Instead of steps (6), specify the PPD file directly from "Browse" Example: With the EP-901A printer, you would specify the following file. ----------------- /opt/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr/ppds/EPSON/EPSON-EP-901A-epson-escpr-en.ppd.gz ----------------- This completes adding a printer for this software. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5 Printing ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5.1 Items to be set The following items can be set with this software. * Ink Select color or monochrome printing. * Paper size Select the paper size for your document. * Print quality Select the media type and its print quality for your printing. 5.2 Details of setting items Followings is a list of setting options available for this software. * The meaning of the list items - Keyword Text string used when specifying an option - Browser display Text string displayed in the browser window for CUPS settings - Explanation An explanation of the setting Ink Setting name for optional settings: Ink Setting name in the browser: Ink Keyword | Browser display | Explanation ---------+------------------------+------------------------------------ COLOR | Color | Color printing MONO | Monochrome | Monochrome printing Paper size Setting name for optional settings: PageSize or media Setting name in the browser: MediaSize Note: When adding multiple settings in the media option, put paper size at the beginning.
