Linux. And printing. Well that’s another chapter. In my current office there is a EPSON AcuLaser CX11(NF) - the setup is fairly simple (if you know the hoops you’ll have to jump through).
-
Get the driver from the (horrible) EPSON Download Section.
-
Install the
.rpm/ make install the.tar.gz. -
Create proper symlinks to the epson binaries {% highlight sh %} $ ln -s /usr/bin/pstoalcx11.sh /usr/lib/cups/filter/ $ ln -s /usr/bin/alcx11_lprwrapper.sh /usr/lib/cups/filter/ $ ln -s /usr/bin/alcx11 /usr/lib/cups/filter/ {% endhighlight %}
-
Talk to the printer via a direct socket (If prompted by your GUI use something like
socket://10.10.0.11:9100)
Voila.
