I found the ppd file from the targz files. I use the button install PPD but it still does not work.

    regarding plan B, epson2 does not find the printer

      emmerich algent is right, if Solus has them you should see them. reboot.
      Are you talking solus's button or manufacturer button?
      don't use PPD, use "search for drivers:

      if you rebooted you should see your drivers (solus has them) in that list

      whats scary is all the cups nonsense under Nom.

        emmerich well trash plan B, your scanner worked without the epson scanner program you said.
        (ps---it wlll find yr scanner after about 4 tries---normal)

          for plan A when I follow the procedure I have:

            emmerich that's ok you don't need it. solus has your drivers under 'search for drivers'

              If I click on search button solus does not find the ppd file. I have to select it on the data base

              I have already reboot the computer

              Uhh that was interesting try changing your Nom to RX520 and see if it works
              But first select your printer from Database

              Is that way you see it brent?
              Sorry wasnt trying butt in...

                Axios
                When I click on the search button they find it as generic even the epson drivers have been installed

                The second printer (hp) is on my network but not concern with my issue

                    emmerich Change the cups-brf-Printer Name to RX520
                    After I did that it popped up and said printer added.
                    I dont have that printer but looks like it was added properly (So I hope it works)
                    For some reason a search doesnt add proper printer.



                    Shrugs

                        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)

                            brent My gut feeling it was seeing the printer but was adding it as generic cups
                            Thats ok just go in and select proper printer but its still not right got change to RX520
                            (nothing else seemed to work) when I did that it popped up and said printer added.
                            So I take it should work then.
                            Then the PPd listing was correct to.

                            P.S ready for a cold one..lol

                            Note his printer wasnt in the list till I installed escpr

                              emmerich Try this name (Epson_Stylus_Photo_RX520) exactly
                              Did it popup and say printer added?

                                  The issue occur during the detection.
                                  I tried with a live CD under linux mint and the printer was directly detected. I tried plan C (change driver) without success. I am ,not a expert on informatics and I was unable to execute the scrip install-sh.

                                    Axios
                                    I did it but it did not pop up and when i click on searh drivers it did not find any drivers

                                        emmerich I understand you should be able to make it work either way if its auto installed
                                        or manual.
                                        I am sure it should work with what I gave you if it doesnt I dont have an answer to as why not at this point.

                                        If anybody see something I am missing chime in..

                                          emmerich Use the select from database and install printer that way
                                          after you do that make sure the name is the same as i showed if it dont popup say printer added it wasnt.
