Epson L3150 printer driver

How can I install Epson L3150 ink tank printer in Ubuntu? I failed to install using the deb file given in the site


Solution 1:

  1. Follow this link, in the search box type "L3150" and in the dropdown menu choose "Linux".

  2. Press "Download" next to "ESC/P-R Driver (generic driver)".

  3. Press "Accept" and then download the driver file named epson-inkjet-printer-escpr_XXXX-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb (even if your processor is not AMD) where instead of XXXX will be the current version number.

  4. Install using GDebi: First just try to open the file, which will open GDebi's gui, and click install. If that doesn't work, open a terminal, browse to appropriate folder, and run sudo gdebi epson-inkjet-printer-escpr_XXXX-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb (don't forget to replace XXXX with version number).

  5. Go to Printers, press Add, let it find your printer (note whether it is connected directly via USB or via the network) and proceed in the obvious way to set the printer.
