Re: Epson M200 printer

[Dmitrii Postolov <dpostolov%yandex.ru@localhost>]

Hi to All! Sorry for my bad English...

Please assist the community in setting up a network monochrome inkjet printer Epson M200 on NetBSD 9.0.

NetBSD localhost 9.0_STABLE NetBSD 9.0_STABLE (GENERIC) #0: Sun Jun 7 19:08:12 UTC 2020 mkrepro%mkrepro.NetBSD.org@localhost:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC amd64

Pkgsrc-wip (added to/usr/pkgsrc/wip) has an epson-inkjet-printer-escpr driver that is successfully build on a freshly installed NetBSD. But the driver contains a mistake in ways: after compilation it is necessary to copy files of epson-escpr-wrapper and epson-escpr from /usr/pkg/pkg/libexec/cups/filter/ to /usr/pkg/libexec/cups/filter/. In/etc/rc.conf added cupsd=YES lines (cupsd copied from examples/rc.d to/etc/rc.d), lpd=YES, lpd_flags="-s". After adding a network printer using cups http://localhost: 631/admin via PPD, it appears in the list of available devices, but does not print from Firefox.

On FreeBSD a similar problem under it: after installing from epson-inkjet-printer-escpr from packages, and setting it up in a similar way, the printer did not print until installing the cups-filters package.

The cups-filters file is not in the driver dependencies in NetBSD, but if manually install cups and cups-filters using pkgin, add cups-browsed to /etc/rc.conf, the error is "Color Manager: no profiles specified in PPD." (I have an Epson M200 monochrome printer, also exist an Epson M200 color printer, the driver is the same).

How do I set up this Epson M200 network printer to print correctly in Firefox browser?
