My much beloved and recently passed-away dinosaur StylusColor680 had the same issue but it didn’t matter too much.)īTW, no need to restart cups after settiing up the printer in YaST - that has already been taken care of by YaST.Important: Your product needs to be set up with a network connection before it can be set up with Epson Connect. If not, it may rather be an Epson issue with your specific model. Have you actually tried installing the Epson drivers via YaST (“epson-inkjet-printer-1.0.0-1lsb3.2” or "epson-inkjet-printer-escpr-1.3.1-1lsb3.2)? I’d first try both of them and see if it helps. However, in the picture with the YaST dialogue you have chosen the gutenprint driver i.e. But it it wouldn’t show with escputil which requires a raw device. With my system (WF-3540 - sorry, not NX420 on 12.2 via network) I can display the ink level with the tool you are using (system-config-printer 1.3.9). I am using Epson since many years and find their Linux support i.e. I’d say escputil just like ttink / mtink can only display the information provided by the printer, i.e. Your model indeed is not listed in the supported device list of escputil, but I wouldn’t overrate that.

I note that the following driver is suggested by OpenPrinting:Īnd of course Epson supplies proprietary drivers for the WF-3540 series as well. Yes, many printers are supported by open source drivers (eg gutenprint drivers), and perhaps your printer is supported by one of them. ![]() 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. ![]()
