Description:
|
This is a model being "closed out" on the Epson website in February 2008. It has NO FAX feature. The printer has 4 separate ink carts. Maximum Resolution is 5760 x 1440 optimized dpi. 48-bit color, has built in memory card slots and a camera usb port (front side).
In Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon (v. 7.10), the OS found the device needed no software installed for the printer. I had a little trouble getting the GIMP to scan, but the solution was pretty easy. I put the solution, below:
From:
Setup of Epson Stylus DX6050 multifunctional (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=599673)
I did not and could not follow all the instructions as I was uncertain I could.
I did do the following and the scanner started working.
lsusb | grep Epson
which for an Epson Stylus CX5000 3-in-1, returned:
Bus 001 Device 008: ID 04b8:082b Seiko Epson Corp.
Next: gksudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/45-libsane.rules
and at the bottom of that file I added:
SYSFS{idVendor}=="04b8",SYSFS{idProduct}=="082b",M ODE="664",GROUP="scanner" after the Epson Perfection 4990 device line. The above as one line even though the files lines of code were sometimes in more than one line. Saved the file. Exited.
Next: gksudo gedit /etc/sane.d/epson.conf
and added:
usb 0x04b8 0x082b
as the last line in the file. Saved and exited that file. Next, for my scanner sitting on the USB bus so:
sudo chmod a+w /dev/bus/usb/001/008 (my computer not yours)
and next:
scanimage -L
scanned an image. Then under GIMP, the device dialog found the scanner.
This printer was known, some time ago, to have a firmware flaw of printing a few pages, then reporting the ink supply as LOW. I believe this has been fixed. I bought the CX5000 at Fry's for $50, refurbished.

This device is excellent with only 1 flaw. Epson, forever trying to get it's user base to buy Epson inks, has changed the cartridges from the 7 pin firmware reset to 9 pin. Most of the 3rd party re-inkers can't get the resetter. Eventually someone will reverse engineer the resetter and ink prices will come down, but for now it's Epson or nothing.
