[opensuse] Connect Epson Artisan 810 network printer
A friend gave me a really nice printer, an Epson Artisan 810. It connects to my wireless router and has an IP address, and that is the way he used to use it. He had a mac. My daughter connected to it easily enough with her mac. How do I connect to it in openSUSE? It has a MAC address and an IP address, but I don't know what to do about it. I cannot tell anywhere that it is connected by TCP socket, LPD protocol, or IPP protocol. All I know is that it has a wireless IP address from my router, using the same authentication as my other wireless devices, and that my daughter's macbook connected to it easily without any messing around. If I need to post any more information, please let me know what and where to get the information. I am using box #1 below. -- G.O.

Try printing to it at http://<ipaddr>:631 -- Per Jessen, Zürich (26.8°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I am not sure how to just "print" to an http address, so I tried to add a printer using yast at the address http://<ipaddr>:631. I hit the "connection wizard" and under "connectin type" selected "special -> Specify Arbitrary Device URI. Under the URI I put as the address http://<ipaddr>:631 as you can see in my picture. It installed, so I thought, but no connection to the printer, as it would not print a test page. Here is my picture link of how I tried to make it connect: http://picpaste.com/printersetup-xzHH2Gvb.png On the connection wizard, is there a different type of connection I need to make? Otherwise, how do I simply "print" to an http address like you suggested? I am not familiar with a bash command for that. I did try the following: # ls -l > http://192.168.254.105:631 bash: http://192.168.254.105:631: No such file or directory # But as you can see nothing happened. -- G.O.

I suspect it would be better to set up a Network Printer with IPP.

"lp" or "lpr" - although I'm not sure if you can point those to a URL. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (29.7°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I have an 800 and have it set up as a network printer using tcp on port 9100 Go into the connection wizard within the yast printer module/choose TCP Port and add the IP then click test connection. When you click OK then you choose the printer driver and you are done. If you turn off the firewall then opensuse will detect it as well A -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I have an Artisan 725, and the drivers for both print & scan are available here: http://avasys.jp/eng/linux_driver/download/lsb/epson-inkjet/escp/ John. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
