Epson l355 driver compiling
by DanePlainDane » Fri Jul 31, 2015 4:10 pm
Preface this by saying hello good morning, evening, afternoon. I am very computer literate. I can navigate and solve most problems with man and cli. I write code c, java, etc... I have always been able to compile things I've written. But I've never really put massive effort into understanding why it works.
I try to compile things from other sources and if it fails too much and needs to much outside stuff I generally give up and wire the code I need. This excludes drivers though. For me drivers are black magic.on x86 and x64 machines I have always been able to get drivers compiled. Arm is kind of new to me although Linux is old hat.
If you read that above you kind of understand where I'm coming from.
So I bought an epson l355. I was fatigued or whatever and mistook iprint to mean airprint.
Long story short I decided to get a Pi and use it as an airprint server.
I found the driver sources for it and went about trying to compile them. downloaded and unpacked all the sources (cpio'd and rpm'd) located the .ppd and choose it in cups.
Noticed that there was no filter. Tried like hell to get the filter sources to compile. Have had 0 success.
Are there some additional packages that I need to install that these sources need that I just don't see anywhere in documentation? I can't make sense of the errors I'm getting either.
Google doesn't bring up helpful links neither does any search I've done here.
Please if you have had success compiling epson printer filters from source on a Pi, share with me the steps and whatnot. I'm just totally stuck at the moment.
Thanks y'all.

Bump
Got the Printer filter to ./configure && make, I believe with success since I found the filter in "/opt/epson-inkjet-printer-201207w/cups/lib/filter/Epson_inkjet_printer_filter"
I can execute the filter file, from cli, and it says "Insufficient options." This shows me that it is there and functioning.
When I try to print I get, in the cups web interface
- CODE: SELECT ALL
Stopped
"opt/epson-inkjet-printer-201207w/cups/lib/filter/Epson_inkjet_printer_filter failed"
Googled about and read about this all day long tried all kinds of different things made several fresh re-images
trying to have it all done in oneshot without build errors (got there eventually).
Still can't figure out why the filter fails every time. anyone experienced in getting Epson printers to work on a pi from source?

Ok so I was able to use command line to send data to the printer. Cups reports that it was successful and the printer did indeed
print. but it just printed garbage. the file I printed with lp was a tmp file called var/spool/cups/tmp/c00005
- CODE: SELECT ALL
lp c00005
so I expected to have something come out figured it was probably garbage, and it was.
I have rundown some of the usual problems, storage running out (fresh install on 32GB mSD) Nope, filter is executable from a chmod 775, can execute the filter from cli as pi and sudo, added the cups-pdf library (figured this may help, it didn't).
the error displayed in cups
- CODE: SELECT ALL
EPSON_L355_Series-13 Unknown Withheld 1k Unknown canceled at
Sun Aug 9 13:50:55 2015
"/opt/epson-inkjet-printer-201207w/cups/lib/filter/epson_inkjet_printer_filter failed"
I can post up the error_log, but, really it doesn't seem to show anything helpful. I did set it at debug level. Still the only thing is it shows essentially the exact same thing as on the cups web interface.
At my wits end really. Never messed around much with getting printers to work. They either did, or, they got returned.
I specifically don't want to return this one because it is manufactured with 750ml ink tanks. I have had soo many bad experiences with printers and ink refills, ciss tank systems, inky messes etc.. I just really would like to get this working properly for the airprint devices, and the fact that this is a manufacturer large ink tank solution.

thank you but ive seen that one . cant make sense of how it would apply to this case
Here is what you requested I run, first time not found, I copied the file with the lower case e to have an upper case E and then ran again. There was success. the error in cups has.../epson_injet_printer_filter so I think it maybe has no bearing on whether it should technically work with cups based on "spelling errors".

here is a short snip from the log that seems to be the most relevant information.. The log is huge so I hope this is the important stuff.

It looks like there could be several failure modes. CUPS has a delightful habit of disabling the printer if it can't talk to it first try. How are you connecting to the printer? How are you testing that you can see it? What's the filter log saying? (I think you can view it through the CUPS web interface, http://localhost:631/)
There's a chance that the L355 will print (maybe with not all of its features) using the stock “printer-driver-escpr” driver from the Raspbian repo. But make sure you clean out your half-built Epson driver first.

Ok so I rebooted the pi and fired off a test print from the web interface and briefly got this
in the status
- CODE: SELECT ALL
no profiles specified in ppd
Currently I'm googling this out

You've got the necessary dependencies installed to get a cups driver to build?
- CODE: SELECT ALL
sudo apt-get install libcups2-dev libcupsimage2-dev
I recently had to build a driver from source (admittedly, for a much simpler thermal printer than your Epson). Once I'd built and installed the driver with the usual make/sudo make install bit, I could add the printer easily from the Printer Settings GUI. Maybe copying the PPD is a step too far - try the graphical or web installation method first

Unfortunately there is no compiled l355 driver for arm so it's diy on this front.
I downloaded the full source used the ppd in the source and eventually figured out what all the dependencies were for the filter through trial and error. Once I had all that nailed down I reinstalled raspbian from the image on the raspi site with win32diskimager. I then went through and got all the stuff together and compiled the filter in one shot without problems. Including the two you listed.
The prevalent error is the filter error. The one about the ppd was a first timer that I had never seen before.
Anyone have any ideas?
Do I have to compile all of the driver source in addition to the filter source? Or was snagging the ppd from the source directories and selecting it in the web interface enough?

Yes, absolutely. And install it, too, using the Makefile or the supplied installation script.

Ok so I have a freshly re-imaged card. I have downloaded and unpacked the sources in / directory.
I will be running the following I'm adding in a bunch of reboots for reboots sake.
I will also be cheating and downloading the sources, renaming to eij.rpm, on my winbox then sending them to the pi
over sftp.

I see the config and make files there. Assuming that there is some recursion in the config file so that it will
go into the other directory and do what it needs there.
based on this https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-964750.html, which just so happens to be someone trying to get the exact same printer installed in Gentoo, I have run
- CODE: SELECT ALL
sudo apt-get install libtool
and am thinking about following the instructions provided there.
does that seem sane?
additionally is there anything I have missed in getting pre-requisites or does it look like I have everything needed before firing off a config and make?
Thanks for all of your help so far on this, Drivers it seems are still black magic to me.

I'm having the same problem with the Epson l310 (thailand), it uses a slightly different driver, but again no arp package
I followed the gentoo link, fixed the configure.ac, compiled with
./configure --prefix=/opt/epson-inkjet-printer-201401w
make
make install
it all installs fine, but I get the same error as you
/opt/epson-inkjet-printer-201207w/cups/lib/filter/epson_inkjet_printer_filter failed
the lack of debug or any logs at all is a real pain, does anyone know if any of the opensource CUPS drivers will work with this printer

I've still had no luck with this.
On a side note I now have an xserve with dual 3Ghz Intel quad cores 24Gb ram, and two xserve raids with 28 750GB drives in them. Would that be overkill for a home print server?

Hello DanePlainDane,
I am doing a similar path. I'm trying to compile the L365 driver for the Raspberry PI too. I use another package (RPM) but I think it is similar to yours. If you check into the driver package there are two zip files. With the CUPS filter, you have built, and one for a library which I believe is the 'driver'. So the filter fails because it uses the 'driver'. I did not find the source for it, if you find please share.
Link to my printer's package: https://download3.ebz.epson.net/dsc/f/0 ... .2.src.rpm

I have Epson L132 printer, which is similar inkjet-series as listed the above and a Pi3 with the latest Raspbian.
I've followed the path of @DanePlainDane, but it leads me to the same "Filter error" with no additional info. How to get more information out of this error? Have anyone successfully connected Epson printer to Raspbian?

I've managed to make my printer work with my Pi by using TurboPrint drivers. It is a proprietary software, so I had to buy a license. Good thing is, that version for ARM processors, which Raspberry has, is cheaper than the rest and only $10.
It was the first time ever I bought software for *nix systems, but taking in account complexity of dealing with driver sources and complete ignore from EPSON, I think it is the only way to get it done for now.
