Menstruation Numb Leg

Epson Stylus S20 under Lucid Lynx

Hi, my
after switching to the RC of Lucid Lynx (comes out on Friday), I realized that my Epson Stylus S20 is not prints more with the Gutenprint driver. The version was changed from 5.2.4 to 5.2.5, which was supposed to bring only advantages for the Epson halt not. Previously, he printed, not now. So only helps one thing: The driver from Epson Partner Avasys install. And how to do it, I tell you here: On

Avasys download the driver. (Epson Stylus S20/T10/T11/T20/T20E/T23/T26)

here I just decided to install the Fedora package.
Then run the following:

 cd / sudo mkdir 
 pips 
 sudo mv / home/kings/Downloads/pips-st20-Fedora9-3.1.0-CG.tgz / cd pips pips 
 
 sudo tar xfz pips-ST20- Fedora9-3.1.0-CG.tgz 
 

Where / home / kings / downloads refers to the directory where you have loaded the package back.

then run the install script from Fedora9 with the command:.

 sudo ./pips-st20-Fedora9-3.1.0-CG.install - noexec - target / - keep - nochown 
 

Thereafter, in the folder a lot *. rpm, then all konventiert with Alien and installed: sudo alien can

 pips-*. rpm sudo dpkg-i deb 
 pips-*. If you are missing 
 

Alien, so her means of

 sudo apt-get install alien 
 

catching up.

When you install the *. deb packages, errors will occur as a result of missing links . Arise Which we will not hassle you. Now we create in / etc / init.d script to start from the ekpd (the Epson Daemon):

 gksu gedit / etc / init.d / ekpd 
 

is in the file then the following code:

 # Photo Image Print System 
 # Copyright (C) 2002-2005 Avasys Epson Corporation. 
 # Copyright (C) SEIKO EPSON CORPORATION 2002-2005. 
 
 # #. sbin / etc / rc.d / init.d / functions 
 
 PATH = / usr / local /: / usr / local / bin: / sbin: / bin: / usr / sbin: / usr / bin 
 DAEMON = / usr / local / EPAva / core / ekpd 
 NAME = ekpd 
 DESC = "EPSON Avasys printing daemon" 
   
 [ -f $DAEMON ]  
 *) 
 echo "Usage: ekpd {start  This must be: 
 Printer Name: ST20 
 Connection Method: USB Device 
 Path: lp0 
 
 command 
 
 sudo chmod + x / etc / init.d / ekpd 
 
 make the script executable and 
 
 sudo / etc / init.d / ekpd start 
 
 start the daemon. 
 
 And then set up the printer using CUPS. This simply go 
 
 http://localhost:631 
, there 
 CUPS for Administrators -> Add Printer and classes -> Add Printer 
 
 
 where you choose now as a printer Epson Inkjet Printer 
 
 # 1 (Photo Image Print System) 
 
 give him a name, location, etc. 
 And then you shall on the third page as the driver 
 
 Epson Stylus S20, Photo Image Print System (color) 
 
 
 then the printer should print a test page and can be installed. 
 command 

ekpstm
can check the status of the printer, as well as the ink level.

 
 Unfortunately, there is still a small problem: 

You must start the daemon when you restart itself. If one does not want, or often forget, because you can create a workaround:

It installed a "run-level editor" and bears the ekpd into the correct runlevel. To be installed with

sudo apt-get install sysv-rc-conf

 a runlevel editor. 
 the one starts with 

sudo sysv-rc-conf

 next investigated the line "ekpd" marks the box for the following run levels (with spaces): 2,3,4,5 
 

This printer is now accessible available.
This method is also valid for the following printers: Stylus T20 T20e T23 together
T26 T10 T11
