Epson ET-1810 driver and app on Leap 16.0

English Hardware

I had no problem finding the driver for my Epson ET-1810 on Leap 15.6.
But that Epson model does not show up among the available drivers on Leap 16.0.
Could this driver and relative app be added to Leap 16.0 soon?

Thank you.

Check the vendor site for Linux drivers

I was able to find RPMs for the “ET-1810” model in order to assist here.

BTW, if this printer is connected to a LAN, it should also support driveless printing.

The driver is named “epson-inkjet-printer-escpr-1.8.6-1.x86_64.rpm”, but when you download it, the extension is changed into “rmp”. Very unusual!
I was not able to install it with zypper. The error message was:
No provider of ‘tmpRPMcache:epson-inkjet-printer-escpr=0:1.8.6-1’ found.

What should I do in this case?
Again, I was using the printer with its native driver even last week on 15.6…

Is epson-inkjet-printer-escpr installed?
zypper se -s epson-inkjet-printer-escpr

You might need to add the Printing repo first…
sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Printing/16.0/Printing.repo

Change it back to rpm.

And install it with zypper:
zypper in ./epson-inkjet-printer-escpr-1.8.6-1.x86_64.rpm
