I think I have set up the printer EPSON L3110 to the point where I need to download the software; I downloaded the file for scan driver and put it in the following folder /home/inanna-immayah/Desktop/Epson L 3110 Printer/imagescan-bundle-ubuntu-18.04-3.55.0.x64.deb
I read in the README file that I can install it all through install.sh script (I am just a beginner eventhough very curious about Linux OS and programming, having done some basic terminal commands before etc..) but when I want to run it the terminal it does not see the file.

inanna-immayah@inanna-immayah-Aspire-7551:~$ /home/inanna-immayah/Desktop/Epson L 3110 Printer/imagescan-bundle-ubuntu-18.04-3.55.0.x64.deb/install.sh --dry-run

bash: /home/inanna-immayah/Desktop/Epson: No such file or directory

Please advise ME asap as I need to do printing urgently.

What you have there is a scanner program, not a printer driver.

To download the printer drivers, go to http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/se...h/searchModule , enter Product name L3110, click on the search icon, enter Operation system Linux, then click again on the search icon.

Download the ESC/P-R Driver (generic driver) (amd64.deb version - I assume you're running x64).

Download the Epson Printer Utility (as above).

The scanner driver link isn't working at the moment so forget that for now.

On the command line, enter:

Go back to your file manager and in the same order that you downloaded them, double click on the two deb files to install them (wait until the first one is finished before installing the other)

Reboot your system. If the printer has not been added, go to the admin panel on your system and select Printers->Add to add the printer.

Note that it stopped at "Epson" although the entire directory name is: Epson L 3110 Printer

The reason for that is that you have spaces (3 in all) in the file name. Putting quotes around it should have run the script. Avoid creating file/directories with spaces in them when you can.

hydrurga, thank you very much for your fast reply; I followed your instructions but in a download folder it only shows 1 debian file not two; should I just double click it?

You need both downloaded files. Go through the process again and make sure you download them both.

But what are the two files? Is one of them the scanner driver? Because inside the printer driver I downloaded from the link you provided there was just one folder and when I double clicked the one file it said after the reboot that the additional drivers are needed, just like you say.

See my post above:

Thank you so much!!!!! It's working. What about the scanner?

Great. You appear to already have the scanner file (it was the one you mentioned in your opening post).

I assume that you've connected your printer directly to your computer. If this isn't the case and it's on the network then let me know.

Using your file manager, open the folder you mentioned before, i.e. imagescan-bundle-ubuntu-18.04-3.55.0.x64.deb (this is not a deb archive like the two you installed previously, it's the name of a folder, badly named by the developers to cause confusion).

In that folder, right-click on free space and select "Open in Terminal" or equivalent.

In the terminal window that opens, enter the following command:

Reboot, then test the scanner.

I did as you told Me, but the terminal give Me this message: "unsupported package format".

You need to paste here the entire command-output sequence that led to this error (highlight all the commands and output in the terminal and use shift-ctrl-c to copy them, then use ctrl-v to paste them here).

Please also paste here within CODE tags (see https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...og.php?b=36313).

This is it:

inanna-immayah@inanna-immayah-Aspire-7551:~/Desktop/EPSON L 3110 ecotank/imagescan-bundle-ubuntu-18.04-3.55.0.x64.deb$internal error: unsupported package format

Did I do those code tags correctly?

Close - the whole command and output sequence should have been copied from the terminal and pasted within the CODE tags. No problem though, thanks for giving it a go (many who are asked to don't).

Ok, that install script must have an error in it so let's forget it - it's mostly a convenience script. Using your file manager, navigate to the .deb directory referred to in the previous thread and then enter the core directory and double click on imagescan_3.55.0-1epson4ubuntu18.04_amd64.deb to run it.

Once installed, reboot then test the scanner. If it doesn't work, I have a fix that we can try applying.

You are very welcome;
thank you so much for your help, Hydrurga!

You are doing real service to the world; We needed to print and scan documents [removed] You have made it so easy . Good start thanks to you. The printer you have helped Me set-up was a gift from My family from Slovakia visiting Me in South Africa for My 30th birthday. [removed] I am so happy I can print with eco-friendly colours now

I have My new printer/scanner running now; I downloaded the package again as in the first downloaded file there was no .deb file to be doube-clicked but the new downloaded file had the required file in core directory and installed with the double click and install button on ubuntu. Easy.
