Hi Mark,
I have upgraded to Peppermint 6 using the tutorial about installing Pep 5 on an Acer.
I have most things sorted ok but I have came to a halt with the printer.
I found the following that I used before
epson-inkjet-printer-201101w_1.0.0-1lsb3.2_i386.deb
iscan-data_1.26.0-1_all.deb
iscan_2.29.3-1~usb0.1.ltdl7_i386.deb
but I downloaded the first part and ran that but I only get an error 404 for the other 2 parts
Is there another source for updates ?
take care
Don W
Try these links
epson-inkjet-printer-201101w_1.0.0-1lsb3.2_i386.deb
iscan_2.30.1-1~usb0.1.ltdl7_i386.deb
I don’t think you need ths, but I’ll link to it anyway
epson-printer-utility_1.0.0-1lsb3.2_i386.deb
Hi Mark,
I get an error when I have tried to install the first part ( epson-inkjet-printer-201101w_1.0.0-1lsb3.2_i386.deb )
Error: Failed to satisfy all dependencies (broken cache )
EDIT I have 2 instances of ‘Package Installer’ in the toolbar that won’t delete.
EDIT EDIT I have moved upstairs and connected the printer.
I have used Menu>System Tools>Printers and loaded the Epson Printer and printed the usual Test Page.
Thanks for the help Mark. I was trying to get these bits and pieces to work on my own (with your help actually) as most of these things I have asked about before, so they must be on the forums.
I need a method of finding them, should I search using posts by don watson including google, wifi. printer, etc.
you’ve lost me…
Are you still having problems installing ? … if so, can you post the output from:
sudo apt-get update
then put those 3 files on your Desktop … then post the output from:
sudo dpkg -i ~/Desktop/epson-inkjet-printer-201101w_1.0.0-1lsb3.2_i386.deb
and post the output from that too.
Hi Mark
The first part gives this

I have used Menu>System Tools>Printers and loaded the Epson Printer SX130 under ‘Network’. It is printing at the moment.
OK, can you run:
sudo apt-get remove --purge epson-inkjet-printer-201101w
then
sudo apt-get install lsb
then double click on the epson-inkjet-printer-201101w_1.0.0-1lsb3.2_i386.deb file and click the “Install” button
did it install without error ?
Sorry Mark,
It came up with the same error
what happens if you run:
sudo apt-get -f install
?
does that fix things ?
Hi Mark,
I ran that and it produced this

Do I need to run the other 2 parts now ? ( iscan_2.30.1-1~usb0.1.ltdl7_i386.deb and iscan-data_1.36.0-1_all.deb ) ?
if you get a any return from:
dpkg -l | grep epson-inkjet-printer-201101w
then yeah … install the other 2 packages
If nothing is returned, let me know.
Hi Mark,
I get this

Is that safe for me to install the other 2 packages now ?
yep, go for it 
You should also be good to go in your cribbage topic now too
Sorry Mark,
When I double click on Iscan package installer it says 'Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: iscan data
?
install iscan-data first … THEN iscan 
In other words … install them in this order
iscan-data_1.36.0-1_all.deb
then
iscan_2.30.1-1~usb0.1.ltdl7_i386.deb
Hi Mark,
The iscan-data went in ok but the iscan is still throwing up an error.
Error: Failed to satisfy all dependencies ( broken cache ) ?
try:
sudo apt-get -f install
again
it’s these damn alien converted packages :
Hi Mark,
I used the instructions and now have this. I think I will stop now as I don’t remember what I am looking for. :-\

Is this ok ?
I’ll have a look at this in the morning … need sleep
can you confirm you’re on the 32bit kernel with ten output from:
uname -a
and I’ll try testing the drivers installation myself.
