[opensuse] Epson Inkjet Printer can't connect
Re: Tumbleweed: I have an Epson WP-4530 all-in-one printer/copier/scanner. The Driver is available in /usr/etcetera, and Yast claims to have installed it, and if I try to print something, the Epson is shown as a choice, but nothing happens. If I try to use XSane, a message tells me it can't find a device. Meanwhile, an HP LaserJet Pro is found and prints perfectly. But it can't scan or print in color. I've gotten used to Tumbleweed and I like it, but why won't it print? All help appreciated! --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Well, the first step is to examine the printer logs. /var/log/cups/. Possibly "error_log". Then increase log verbosity in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf, LogLevel debug restart service, print again, check log again.

Have you configured it in YaST?

If it is something specific to TW, I can't help, sorry. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)

LogLevel debug
I could not make this work. I just get an error message when I try to get to this directory and run LogLevel debug.
restart service, print again, check log again.
If I try to use XSane, a message tells me it can't find a device.

I did not. I will try. I know it sees the printer--it can tell me which ink levels are low!

do not "run" "LogLevel debug", edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and change the "LogLevel" to indicate debug, then restart the service and try to print and look at the logs.
restart service, print again, check log again.

No error so far. Are you looking at "access_log"? Not that one. "error_log".

OK, I did the edit, and I got a page of stuff. Don't know just what it means. I couldn't paste it here, since I don't know how to make Thunderbird permit long lines, so I attached the file. --doug

If all else fails, you might try VueScan https://www.hamrick.com It's not exactly cheap, but if it's a choice between paying for the software and not having a scanner, then... It has a free trial so you can try before you buy. Payam. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
