Epson Xp-830 Driver Install

[Charise Scrivner]

Idownloaded and installed the epson driver. I did System>Printers>Add Printer>Add Network Printer and Ubuntu found and installed the epson xp-440 using "driverless cups filters". When I print a test page, it prints fine except it is only black and white! Everything else works fine - it scans, shows ink levels, etc. just no color! Any ideas??

I am not 100% sure why this is working, but while the printer was turned off, I went through the steps of Add Printer > Select Device > Epson Inject printer #1 appears as a choice, so choose that > Choose Driver from database > Epson > XP-440 > choose the 'escpr', not the driverless cups choice and finish install. When I turn the printer on, the "Epson XP-440 Series on local host" still appears as another printer, but if I print to the Epson XP-440 and NOT to EPSON6612.local, everything works and it is in color. Not really an ideal situation as the .local printer comes and goes depending on whether the printer is on or off, but the 'escpr' printer works, so I'm OK with it!

Now open your normal printer installation dialog (In Xubuntu Zesty it's Settings->Printer). Delete any printers that were previously automatically installed, click on "Add", and then the tiny down arrow next to "Network Printer".

You'll immediately see your printer with a .local extension but be careful!, it's not the one you want! Wait another few seconds and you'll see another entry for your printer with an IP address (like 192.168.1.10 or something), that's the one you want.

Now click on the printer and select "LPD/LPR queue 'PASSTHRU'" in the column that appears on the right. Depending on your printer it might say something a little different, but hopefully LPD or LPR is in there somewhere.

I am installing an Epson XP-830 printer in Debian (wheezy). Openprinting doesn't list it (it's new), but the -820 seems like a close match. (Epson's own website also gives similar if not identical instructions for both.) See below:

Open's instructions are to use the driver epson-escpr. I already have it installed. It is the transitional dummy package to transition to uniformly named printer-driver-escpr, which I also have installed.

No, the binary doesn't necessarily contain everything in the source. The packager decides what to include in the binary. If the source has something you require, you can use it. And possibly file a bug report, if you think there is something in the source that should be in the binary.

AirPrint is a technology built into most popular printer models, including those listed here. With AirPrint technology, it's easy to print full-quality photos and documents from your Apple device. AirPrint features include easy discovery, automatic media selection, and enterprise-class finishing options.

The printers, print servers, and USB-only devices listed here are provided by each manufacturer and updated regularly by Apple. If you don't see your model, check with the manufacturer for more information.

To use AirPrint, you don't need to install an app, additional drivers, or other software. Just connect the AirPrint printer to your Wi-Fi network, then choose it in the print dialog when you print from your Mac or print from your iPhone or iPad, for example.

Similar to AirPrint printers, these USB devices allow you to print or scan without having to install additional drivers. Because they require a USB connection, they support driverless printing or scanning only from Mac computers.

i appreciate your posting and trying to help consumers like myself fight back against unfair corporate BS policies like Epson is trying to pull. That being said, I was able to restore my XP-440 and could not have done it without the information you provided, however, it took me several hours and multiple attempts with variations of your procedure to fix mine. FYI,- I WAS RUNNING 4 REMANUFACTURED 288XL CARTRIDGES ON AN EPSON XP-440 EXPRESSION FROM A 1.1G HP LAPTOP WITH WIN10 64 BIT HOME AND HAD BEEN PRINTING FINE FOR PAST 6 MONTHS.The Error message SAYING THE PRINTER CARTRIDGES COULD NOT BE RECOGNIZED ... WAS ON MY PRINTER AFTER I RETURNED FROM THE STORE AS I HAD STARTED THE FIRMWARE UPDATE ON THE WAY OUT THE DOOR.IN MY CASE, NOTHING I TRIED COULD CLEAR THAT ERROR MESSAGE FROM THE PRINTER. I got the printer to UPDATE MODE like your instructions said, using LEFT, DOWN, STOP, AND POWER. I DOWNLOADED THE S010H8 SOFTWARE AND RAN IT. The Printer Installer Started and I got an error message saying something like my printer and PC ARE NOT FROM THE SAME PROFILE or CONNECTION or something to that effect and it said it could disconnect my pc from the network temporarily to fix the problem which i ACCEPTED. THEN IT CAME BACK AND INSTALLLED LIKE YOUR IINSTRUCTIONS SAID ONLY AT THE END THE PRINTER SAID VERIFIED 1 AND SOME CHECKSUM STUFF AND VERIFIED 2 AND HUNG THERE FOR 30 MINUTES, SO I UNPLUGGED IT. UPON restart it said to install printer cartridges (I had pulled them) so I did and got the same old alarm - not recognized.Let me be brief ... I went through this probably 6-8 times making slight changes like readjusting cartridges, uninstalling the printer, messing with setup variables, etc and finally gave up. I went to Amazon.com and bought a set of new Epson cartridges for $39 so I could fix it now and buy me time to replace it later. I got them today and found it was only the color ones ... not the black. I put them in expecting it to fail with the remanufactured black in it but it passed. Inks all recharged and read full so I DID A QUICK Nozzle clean. That worked well and below the printout it said FIRMWARE 20.20.S010H8. Your software update had been installed every time I tried but could not clear the ink errors. Then I noticed the printer saying there is a firmware update ready for download and can only conclude that either the old software was incapable of clearing those errors or (what I believe) somewhere in my PC the updated software resides and somehow is causing this problem. I remember getting one message from the installer SAYING that there are several drivers installed and I should remove any unnecessary software. I tried but bet I didn't get THEM all.Sorry for the long posting but maybe others are struggling. As for the remanufactured cartridges that were in there ... do you think they will work now?? We'll never know cause after all this they can sit in the drawer and dry out for all I care. Or maybe I'LL MAIL THEM TO EPSON CEO for Christmas. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.

I just wanted to say THANK YOU!!!!!After an hour on the phone with Epson for them just to tell me I need to buy their overpriced ink, this was a lifesaver. I can finally use my printer again no problem. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Tania from Inkfarm claims that firmware downgrades do not work. I suggested that Inkfarm would be well advised to provide links to firmware downloads that would enable customers to use their products. She said that they have no intention of doing so because thier IT people have never seen a case where firmware has been successfully downgraded.

I have the same problem with my printer. I have a Epson Workforce Pro WF-4820 and I used third party ink for the last year. This last week I got an update but this time after the update my printer would not recognize my third party ink anymore. I tried new third party ink and it still wouldn't recognize the the ink. I bought new Epson ink today and it works perfectly.Any new information on how to get rid of the update.
