Trying to implement Airprint on Ubuntu on Popular Arm Processors boards Raspberry Pi, Odroid and Pine64
Gimp-print is not having driver for Epson L-130
Gimp-print is showing driver for Epson L-120
Will this work for Epson L-130
However this option Epson L120 is not appearing in CUPS??
Thanks in advance.
It Would be very useful for an eco-Color-inkjet printer Epson L130 if solution is easy to extend
I can't find specs on the head configuration for the printer, so I can't be certain, but given Epson's common naming schemes there's a reasonable chance that it would work.
Did you build Gutenprint yourself or are you using the version distributed by Ubuntu? If you built it yourself, I suspect you don't have the CUPS development package (usually named cups-devel or cupsdev) installed, in which case the resulting build will not contain the CUPS driver or PPD files.
I'm a beginner, I didn't build Gutenprint.
I logged in to http://127.0.0.1:631/ gateway of CUPS using my ODROID C1 (an older version of SBC using Arm processor) which had Epson L130 connected thro USB and searched for the Drivers for this printer but found none.
Then via sourceforge ( http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/p_Supported_Printers.php) tried to locate printer driver
But found a mention of Epson L120.
I'm not sure whether the gimp driver for even L120 exists.
Still searching.
Would be Thankful if you could provide some link
What version of Gutenprint is installed? The L120 driver was added in 5.2.11.
Maybe I'm unable to locate the right link
Where could i possibly get "L120 driver was added in 5.2.11" a link would be most useful
I am searching in CUPS 1.7.2 available at http://127.0.0.1:631/
(Pls excuse if i'm on the wrong track)
What version of Gutenprint are you using (or at least what version of Ubuntu)?
Run:
dpkg -s gutenprint
Actually, on second thought, try the driver for the Stylus CX6500 -- it's actually the same driver.
drivers available for windows, Intel , AMD processors
But not readily for ARM processors hence difficult to do printing from Raspberry Pi, Odroid, Pine 64. Would be wonderful if a solution could be located.
The ARM powered SBC's are otherwise very powerful machines (I Think)
Description: Ubuntu 14.04.6 LTS
Release: 14.04
Codename: trusty
Gutenprint not installed
I'll try driver for the Stylus CX6500 after installing gutenprint (if successful)
Thanks I'll try these steps
Please also guide where to get gutenprint package
Try "apt install gutenprint".
i'll try , Thanks for now , will update tomorrow,
Gutenprint installed
Installed driver for Stylus CX6500 from printer utility provided by OS
Gave a test print....
And IT WORKED!!!!!!
Thanks Robert for your support
(Test Print on Epson L130 connected to Odroid C1 over usb is attached)
I'll try to make this as an Airprinter NOW.
Excellent. I've added the printer to our supported list going forward.
May I close this now?
Yes , Please Close it .
Thanks again for FULL SUCCESS in My trial
I'll Try Airprint on ODROID C1 with ths same setup as Epson L130 with Driver for Stylux C6500 and CUPS + Gutenprint installed and request for help if any glitch appears
(BTW "apt install gutenprint" didnt work. I Had to install gutenprint using tar available at
https://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-print/files/ and further unzip and install as per instructions provided) )
But finally IT WORKED!!!
Finally AIRPRINT functionality could be successfully implemented using guidelines from
https://www.geekonthepc.com/2016/07/10/guide-make-almost-any-printer-airprint-compatible-with-a-raspberry-pi-in-20-minutes/
(something similar implemented on Raspberry Pi)
For Android Cell phone : install Cloud Print app from Playstore.
Then you can fire Print Jobs from the cell phone to the Printer as configured above.
It PRINTS !!! Its wireless !!! and from any Cell phone !!!
Tkt may be closed as Fully implemented
Glad to hear everything's working for you.
