Ubuntu seems to have trouble talking to the Epson AL-M1200 printer. These instructions will get it working. Based on a set of instructions found here.
- Download epsoneplijs-0.4.1.tgz -file from here
cd Downloads
(or whatever directory you downloaded the file to)tar zxvf epsoneplijs-0.4.1.tgz
cd epsoneplijs-0.4.1
./configure --prefix=/usr
sudo make install
- Download PPD file from here or here
- Connect your printer to your computer and turn it on. (You can do it in the beginning, but at least now you need it connected and powered on.)
- Go to System Settings → Printing → click “Add” and choose from the list Epson AL-M1200.
- Click "Forward". Ubuntu searches for drivers for some time and then gives “New printer”-window with the title “Choose driver”.
- Tick the box "Provide PPD file” and navigate to the directory where you downloaded it and choose it.
- Click "Open" and "Forward". Ubuntu asks if you want a test page.
Hello. I used this driver on opensuse 13.x. after upgrading to Tumbleweed it doesn't work on my desktop or on NB Lenovo and HP. when compiling it shows some minor code errors. it does not print and speak a filter error after installation. Could it be fine-tuned so I could use the printer?
