LSB-based executable (printer driver) aborts with "No such file or directory"

[Yannick Le Guen]

I'm using an updated Ubuntu 11.10 beta 1 (amd64).

I have an Epson SX420W printer/scanner. I tried both the free and the proprietary drivers that Jockey displayed, and I tried to connect the printer with both USB and network.

In every case, the drivers are installed correctly and the printer looks ready, but each time I start a print job, I have the following notification : "Printer EPSON - Epson SW420W series may not be connected".
The strange thing is that the scanner works fine with SimpleScan.

In Ubuntu 11.04, with cups 1.4.6, I use the same proprietary driver that is proposed in Oneiric, and everything works fine.

Can you please follow the instructions in the section "CUPS error_log" of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems. Thanks.

[Yannick Le Guen (leguen-yannick)]

I followed the instructions that you gave me.
I join the error_log file and also a screenshot while trying to print a test page with the proprietary driver with a wireless connection.

[Till Kamppeter (till-kamppeter)]

Your error_log contains the line

D [16/Sep/2011:18:53:42 +0200] PID 17032 (/opt/epson-inkjet-printer-nx420/cups/lib/filter/epson_inkjet_printer_filter) stopped with status 102 (No such file or directory)

Is your Epson driver package correctly installed? Does the required filter executable

/opt/epson-inkjet-printer-nx420/cups/lib/filter/epson_inkjet_printer_filter

exist on your system?

[Till Kamppeter (till-kamppeter)]

If the file does not exist, run

sudo apt-get install --reinstall epson-inkjet-printer-nx420

in a terminal window.

[Vicenç Juan Tomàs (vtomasr5)]

I've the same problem. Driver is installed correctly and the scanner works fine.

[Vicenç Juan Tomàs (vtomasr5)]

Configuring the printer from Natty or Karmic works well, but in Oneiric fails.?field.comment=Configuring the printer from Natty or Karmic works well, but in Oneiric fails.

[Till Kamppeter (till-kamppeter)]

Vicenç, also you have

D [17/Sep/2011:11:45:25 +0200] PID 8989 (/opt/epson-inkjet-printer-nx420/cups/lib/filter/epson_inkjet_printer_filter) stopped with status 102 (No such file or directory)

in your error_log, so please follow my instructions in comments #5 and #6. Does this help?

[Yannick Le Guen (leguen-yannick)]

Yes, the executable located at "/opt/epson-inkjet-printer-nx420/cups/lib/filter/epson_inkjet_printer_filter" exists on my system.

[Vicenç Juan Tomàs (vtomasr5)]

Yes, I checked. And the configuration file to point to the correct directory.

[Till Kamppeter (till-kamppeter)]

Problem is an outdated link set by the lsb-core package. Moving to the lsb-core package ...

As a fix for the time being until the fixed package gets available, please run the following command in a terminal window:

sudo ln -sf /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3

[Till Kamppeter (till-kamppeter)]

For amd64 systems the post-install script of lsb-core.postinst sets these links:

            ln -sf ld-linux.so.2 /lib/ld-lsb.so.1
            ln -sf ld-linux.so.2 /lib/ld-lsb.so.2
            ln -sf ld-linux.so.2 /lib/ld-lsb.so.3
            ln -sf /lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.2
            ln -sf /lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3

All these libraries do not exist in Oneiric. So the "lsb" package needs to get updated urgently as otherwise Oneiric will not be able to execute LSB-based packages at all. Especially manufacturer-supplied printer drivers are LSB-based.

[Yannick Le Guen (leguen-yannick)]

Thanks !
With the latest lsb updates, the issue is solved and I can print normally !

I am running ubuntu 16.04 beta 2.
This problem persists with epson workforce 435 printer.
After the symlink, the printer works fine.

[neclepsio (neclepsio)]

Adouzzy, which symlink? I tried to create as per comment #12 but it still does not work.

[Paul Cunnell (paul-cunnell)]

I has the same problem, on ubuntu 16.04 beta 2, and after much searching came across this report. I had installed lsb and the epson-inkjet-printer-201112w_1.0.0-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb from the Epson download site. Looking in /lib, there was just ld-linux.so.2, a symlink to -> i386-linux-gnu/ld-2.23.so.

So mostly following the steps in comment #13, I created the following symlinks:
cd /lib
ln -sf ld-linux.so.2 /lib/ld-lsb.so.3
ln -sf ld-linux.so.2 /lib/ld-lsb.so.2
ln -sf ld-linux.so.2 /lib/ld-lsb.so.1
ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.23.so /lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3
ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.23.so /lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.2

...and as if by magic the printer kicked into life! Not sure these are all necessary, but hey, a few extra symlinks never hurt ;-)

[neclepsio (neclepsio)]

Thank you! It works!
