downloaded 1.6.18 ESC/P-R Driver (generic drivers) epson-inkjet-printer-escpr_1.6.18-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb

Then downloaded

1.0.2 Epson Printer Utility (epson-printer-utility_1.0.2-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb)

then downloaded

1.0.4 All-in-one package for scanner (

iscan_2.30.3-1.tar.gz)

Reconected printer(USB)

and all that happened when I try to print something ,is it runs the paper through without printing on it. I've done this twice now and still won't work. I'm running the latest LUBUNTU

Open a web browser, goto http://localhost:631

Check to see if your epson printer is properly added and set correctly here.

When you are done playing with the settings, either restart the computer or

from terminal

$sudo service cups restart

Thanks for the quick response. Well I got closer, I ran it through localhost It didn't recognize it on its own but I added it and it printed a test page but it still won't print , it just runs a page through but won't print . Should I be unplugging the printer from usb before I do anything in local host. and then re-plugging it back in.

Try turning on debugging for cups. To do this edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf

Modify or add if not there, the line

'LogLevel debug'

Then restart the cups service again.

Then keep a terminal window open, type in the command 'tail -n 100 -f /var/log/cups/error_log'

This will output live errors while you try printing again.

You also want to look into these 2 files for hints on what is going on:

/var/log/cups/page_log

/var/log/cups/access_log
