Any Epson printer/scanner suggestion working out of box?

Post by Dingo »

Woof! Woof!

My very old printer Epson dx6000 is dying and I need a replacement. Do you have any suggestion about a printer working in puppy linux out ofbox? I would prefere an Epson model since there are more aftermarket cartdriges for Epson, but any suggestion will be appreciated

You will probably need to install the driver package for the Epson model you buy.

This web site seems to have good selection of downloadable driver packages.

Seems to have a good FAQ covering any issues you may have.

I looked it up for the dx6000 and it offered one packaged as a Deb for Ubuntu or Debian.
Those should install in Puppy.

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be older.
This is not what I expected :o
