Axios this is where a mapped IP address will force the cups into the Epson. Then we'll have two epsons recgnized. unless it morphs.
I don't have CUPs in my printer dialogue..
what's disturbing here is this is the 4th case of" Solus Has the Drivers and Still Won't See the Printer and/or Let it Print" I've seen in lately. A disturbing trend to me that someone should look into. If that;s the case here.
get rid of that 970 driver. what is that?
you can see on the dialogue box Solus/somebody has the escpr installed.....there is no reason the printer shouldn't print....
....OP I can see your frustration. I've seen a lot of this lately. unless the escpr drivers are for the flatbed and not the printer??
back to plan A then. epson is telling you to run the /configure file and not the .sh?
edit: seen no evidence you've tried to use a comparable model (plan C)
