After choosing the printer openSuSE took over and set up the printer and had me create a CUPS account. I did not down load any drivers but installed the printer by using either YaST > Hardware > Printer, orĪll Applications > System > Configuration > Print Settings > Add > Find Network Printer. The ‘gutenprint’ package supplies an Epson CLI utility called ‘escputil’ that supports some Epson inkjet printers, including providing ink levels.
I’m curious as to how the ink level info is being provided. The printer is on a local network (with static ip address) and not directly connected to my laptop. Just last week I loaded openSuSE 13.1 64 bit on to a laptop and set up an Epson wf3540 and the ink levels are detected and appear in a graphic image similar to what is shown on the printer’s display. Is there anything available in the command line? What about ttink Is that true? Is there any way to override the ink level warning and print a test page? It appears that ink levels are not supported for this printer. Here is a screen shot of the printer settings that I found from the menu inĪll Applications > System > Configuration > Print Settings. Some other posts reference pipslite for Epson, but I haven’t found this anywhere. Is the Epson Status Monitor available for Suse 13.1? I installed all of the rpm’s with zypper for the NX420, such asĮpson-inkjet-printer-escpr-1.3.1-1lsb3.2.i486.rpmĮpson-inkjet-printer-nx420-1.0.0-1lsb3.2.i486.rpm I expected to use the Epson Status Monitor to override the error and at least print a test page. The problem is that the printer needs new ink cartridges and I am unable to get it to do anything (except scan) at this point. I am even able to use the scanner with the acquire images application. I downloaded the drivers from the Epson website, and everything seems to work fine. I recently installed a used Epson NX420 via an USB cable to my desktop running Suse 13.1.
