Support printer Epson Stylus photo RX520 ?

emmerich
Last ditch effort I tried it and sets connection Do from terminal
Sorry I forgot about the connection setting.

1 lpinfo -v should see something like this for your RX520 (direct usb://ZP/LazerJet%20MFP?serial=42)
so it would look like this ( lpadmin -p Epson_Stylus_Photo_RX520 -v usb://ZP/LazerJet%20MFP?serial=42)
(Example)

2 add that line to the end of this and hit enter (lpadmin -p Epson_Stylus_Photo_RX520 -v )
3 should have changed the connection for the Epson_Stylus_Photo_RX520 printer
we should be connected to printer if all went well.
4 test
If you dont show your printer in 1 then we have deeper issues.

Note This is a follow up providing you didnt change your previous settings in previous post
meant to be done along with it.

Thanks for doing that

emmerich Does lsusb show it connected
Also I would try uninstalling Sane it can cause issues with some printers.

Makes sense why it cant auto detect your printer one Line away from working sheesh

Note Just thinking sudo scanimage -L if it shows addy for printer might be able to use it you said scanner
was working

If this doesnt yield results am out of ideas for moment maybe somebody has another idea.

emmerich Use this command in the previous post and see if it works (It wont dork anything)
lpadmin -p Epson_Stylus_Photo_RX520 -v epson2:libusb:001:005

Something software wise is keeping it from being seen its seeing scanner fine

I think if the above does not work uninstall sane -shutdown-unplug printer
when booted up fully plug printer back in and try to add printer like normal.

What we did was set it up manual but without the connection info it does not know where to send it.
thats why when you print test it prints a loop with those 2 notifications.

I know linux had bug issues with sane keeping printer from detection just process of elimination
If all that fails I am kinda in the dark but at least we know whats happening
and maybe Mods-Dev have a answer.
Its just I dont know all the deep inner workings of linux.

Let us know what happens

Edit- I was just looking you might try setting up a new printer using the pm 750 driver worth a try

Question for the Mods
Why is sane taking control of his printer should it not be essential separate from printer
even tho its a combo printer.
when he installs sane back his printer stops working.

Thanks

brent Since 2 people have fixed their printer issue by uninstalling sane I am
not sure what approach is good.
But that might be good idea in the meantime to try.
I think TraceyC was asking about status in other thread awhile back so it will prob get looked at.
Kinda in limbo swept enuf grey matter up off the floor..

After researching abit It appears sane issue maybe with udev Nix-os had more detailed about it
arch just alittle.
Seems to affect multi function printers the way they handle stuff different.
I use seperate scanner printer never had any issues.
I am getting a free working mutli color laser printer so all this will be in back my mind
