Subject description: "Filter failed"		  
Hi,

My first time trying to use printer in Linux.
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=61885

After searching/reading few printer threads, I did the following:

- download driver from Epson.
- install driver.
- Run CUPS, setting defaults etc.

Tried printing, nothing come out. It's an Epson WF-2760, network printer. I can print from Windows pcs. In CUPS, I saw jobs with "Filter failed". See attached.

I downloaded eppi, but don't know what to do..

What did I do wrong please?
Thank you.

Go to the folder where the Epson driver files are located.

Open a terminal and run: eppi xxx.deb.

Make sure that you pick the right 32/64bit version.

Read here under Network Printers for how to handle the hostname issue.

I thought, I continue with the same thread since it's same printer.
My apology if I'm supposed to create new thread/topic.

Very happy that I stumbled into Puppy Linux, so I can replace Windoz on my older laptop with it.

Now that I can print, I thought I continue tinkering with scanner. Not critical if I can't get it working, I figure I'll learn more doing so anyway....

At the Epson driver page, there were so many scanner driver files (in compressed tar). All similar, just for different flavour of Linux. So, I downloaded what I thought best for XenPup64_7.5.

I picked, latest 64 bit scanner bundle driver for Ubuntu.
Extracted the tar.gz file,
Read the readme file, then proceed to install all .deb files by clicking and answered "Yes" to install. All installed succesfully.

I can see new application "Image Scan" got installed, but nothing happened when I click to run it.

Hoping someone has same/similar experience to guide me...
Thank you.

Not sure if supposed to, I run eppi tool to install those .deb files.
All completed without error.

BUT, something happened. I felt the laptop was behaving strangely, so I rebooted. And all my dekstop icons are gone, replaced by all these (see attachment) ??? Apps still working though...

Well, Scanner install has to pause while I resolve this...
Probably quicker to start from scratch, since it's my 'crash & burn' laptop.
But probably learn more trying to fix it though... I'd like to know what happened/caused it. (But I don't want to cross topic).

Let me tinker a bit, when I have enough with it, I'll rebuild from scratch... Smile

Open a terminal and run:
Code:
gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders --update-cache

Reboot. If that doesn't fix it,run
Code:
gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders > /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders

Reboot.

No error executing command.

I checked /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders and below is the content.

# GdkPixbuf Image Loader Modules file
# Automatically generated file, do not edit
# Created by gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders from gdk-pixbuf-2.32.2
#
# LoaderDir = /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders

Though curious, my interest to get scanner working takes priority...
So, I quickly did a fresh frugal build of XenPup64_7.5. This time I gparted the whole disk and only has XenPup64, got rid of Windoz.

So, back to the topic.
Atm, I got back to the point where I can print, and have the downloaded stuff from Epson. Only difference is that now the disk is ext4 instead of ntfs.

I will do more research before doing anything,,,, Smile
