Epson for Linux OS


I did try using the Epson WF-2760 and then listing Linux as the OS in the download link you provided (Thanks) but it gives nothing as a result, sorry but comes up with 0 items or downloads for that machine, try it yourself to see, but thanks for the attempt.

Their search facility is a bit rubbish at times. Here are the individual download links:

All-in-one package - http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/du...c309d1f644cdea

Generic driver - http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/du...bd567029c06dd8

Printer utility - http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/du...4949fb6569b055

PC-FAX driver - http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/du...872e15ce349eb3

I would advise you to install the All-in-one package in the first place (you shouldn't need the others). Select the relevant architecture (32/64-bit) and package manager (deb/rpm) as required. Remember to look at the manual as well as it includes installation instructions.

If you have any problems with the installation and use thereof, you should open a new thread about it.

Printers

I didn't actually realise that people had problems with printers in Linux. I have 2 (admittedly quite old) Epson inkjets, one which is All-In-One (scan/print/copy), which works for both scanning and printing, as soon as I plug it into my Linux Mint computer and the other is just a printer; I don't recall whether I have ever tried to print cds on it though, so I can't swear that I don't have to tinker to do that. I have never tried using any wine software to scan though. Wine software should use the host Linux printers to print, without any issues.

This is possibly the first place to start, with installing a printer/scanner in Linux Mint/Ubuntu*
https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/17
That page also has links to HP, Canon, Brother and Samsung printers. Along with the link previously posted for Epson, that's most cheap printers, apart from Dell and Lexmark, which I believe are all made by Lexmark anyway.

If the basic instructions above don't work, It is worth going to http://www.openprinting.org/printers, where you can search their database to see whether the printer is supported. It is also worth going to if you are looking to buy a printer, to check first.

There is also the Linux Documentation Project's "Printing How-to" page, which is a useful collection of information and links. - http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Printing-HOWTO/printers.html

What would help a lot with Linux printing, is if people participated A LOT in the openprinting website, and logged how their printer did/didn't work. I must admit that I have never done so myself, but I fully intend to do so, at my earliest opportunity.

* in the case of the person above, who has a printer/scanner with fax, I think that better advice has already been given.

Useful resources, thanks, bookmarked for future use. I would only add to this that I personally would try the printer manufacturer's website first if the printer is not supported out of the box by the distro/kernel I'm using. In the case of the poster's Epson WF-2760, for example, that specific model isn't included in the openprinting site but the drivers are available from Epson's own site.

I noticed a comment elsewhere that said something about the openprinting site not being entirely accurate when people say their printers DON'T work. Other people then get them working without problems. It's what got me thinking that I needed to participate, the next time I actually bother printing something.

Zbrush (fun to sculpt in) and clip paint studio (I create a 50,000px x 50,000px raster image and an i7 doesn't break a sweat while other programs freeze and crash with images half that size ).

For Linux mint there's a guttenberg a .deb file that is supposed to work with a variety of printers. As far as scanning with an Epson scanner there are as hydruga rightly mentions a .deb file that you can download. This file for 64 Bit installed on my desktop computer iScan, it successfuly scans with my Epson CX4000 series all in one scanner/printer. Now for OCR you can use that for a scanned and saved image preferably at 400 dpi though it will work at 300 dpi. This also depends on the font size in a picture. Tessaract is the main Linux OCR programme, Gimage Reader & Lios appear to be the main Linux graphic front end for tessaract, but there could be more out there.

Another option for English and other languages is ABBY Finereader, an early edition say Finereader 7 works nicely in Playonlinux. I believe that ABBY has a linux OCR programme that will install in Linux Mint. Sorry I have no links to direct you, but a little searching on Google will produce satisfactory results. Good Luck and get going on it!!

Mainly for work

vsphere client for connecting with older ESX hosts. I've not had access to newer one which supposedly gives access via browser. Not sure if Firefox on Linux would work.
