[SOLVED] Epson XP-215 not working on Sid - lsb not installed

#1 Post by gaglia »

Hello, I am running Sid with Gnome Desktop. My Epson XP-215 printer worked like a charm until a few days ago when it stopped working. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the printer from the Gnome options panel but "no printer found". I tried to manually reinstall the drivers (after apt purging them) from the Epson website and:

Code: Select all

myuser@myhost:~/Desktop$ sudo dpkg -i epson-inkjet-printer-201302w_1.0.0-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb 
Selecting previously unselected package epson-inkjet-printer-201302w.
(Reading database ... 330870 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack epson-inkjet-printer-201302w_1.0.0-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking epson-inkjet-printer-201302w (1.0.0-1lsb3.2) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of epson-inkjet-printer-201302w:
 epson-inkjet-printer-201302w depends on lsb (>= 3.2); however:
  Package lsb is not installed.

dpkg: error processing package epson-inkjet-printer-201302w (--install):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.31-3) ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
 epson-inkjet-printer-201302w
But package lsb *is* installed:

Code: Select all

myuser@myhost:~/Desktop$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Debian
Description:	Debian GNU/Linux bullseye/sid
Release:	unstable
Codename:	sid
What do?

What version of lsb is installed? It's not in the Sid repo.
Take my advice, I'm not using it.

lsb-base and lsb-release are both up to date (11.1.0)

Those packages are not the full lsb. Debian no longer has, or supports, lsb.

Take my advice, I'm not using it.

Your printer is supported by the printer-driver-escpr package. Check with

Code: Select all

/usr/sbin/lpinfo -m | grep XP-215
Say whether you are USB connected.

Hey, sorry for the delay, I'm back and still trying to figure out what's wrong. The command above gives me:

Code: Select all

lpinfo: cups-driverd failed to execute.
Any help?

1) Restore from backup to a point where your printer worked. Or
2) Does your printer work? When it is not attached to your computer can you print a Test Page? Or
3) Have you tried system-config-printer? https://lescahiersdudebutant.arpinux.or ... ig-printer

You have a broken printing system. Try to mend it with

Code: Select all

apt install --reinstall cups

For some reasons I did not receive a notification from the forum upon this reply, I only saw it now.

You're a savior, it worked! :)

Thanks a lot again!
