Installed ppd driver Epson Stylus Photo PX700W on cups but the printer don't print

[Vincenzo Mazzotta]

Good morning,
 I installed in CUP http://localhost:631 my new printer Epson Stylus Photo PX700W.

I downloaded from http://www.avasys.jp/lx-bin2/linux_e/spc/DL2.do the file Epson-Stylus_Photo_PX710W-pipslite-en.ppd and installed by cups web page.

It's impossibile print by ubuntu 9.10

When I print from a gedit, for example, I can see job on printer queue but after one minute go out stopped.

I created a trouble shoot printing file but I can't find and resolve the errors.

I submit this file generated for the problem.

Seeming that don't find a pipslite-wrapper and others files or process I don't know.

It's very STRANGE seems that I fond a solution to print in wireless mode

CUPS+glueprint

If I set ip address and 9100 port seems that happened something.

If I open by firefox address:9100 print page of firefox

Now I changed on configuration by System -> Administration -> Printing the address and port setted as 9100

After I sent a test page and on lcd printer show print (five minutes ago). I can show this message on lcd printer now.

Some helps please.

And print in wireless with my home router (lan+wireless) my pc connected with ethernet cable to router

Now I have the last problem.

[Vincenzo Mazzotta (vincenzo-mazzotta-it)]

The scanner for this printer with this driver not work via network

The scanner work on Linux only via usb.

Printer print very good.

Sane developer can support for network scanner?

I've got a similar model -710W. As you I cannot use the default ppslite URI - but can wireless print using socket:\\<ip address>:9100

to get my scanner to work wireless I used the following:

gksudo gedit /etc/sane.d/epkowa.conf

then appended at the end
net <printer ip address>

hope this helps.
