Hi Everyone,
I am currently trying to install my Epson Stylus Office BX305FW to work with OS 12.1? I have found the linux driver for it but seems to be asking me for an additional one on installation?

Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks

Get the drivers from here:

Epson Inkjet Printer Driver (ESC/P) for Linux | AVASYS CORPORATION

The Avasys drivers will install to the /opt/epson-inkjet-printer-workforce-320-sx218/ppds/Epson/ directory, so I recommend configuring your printer via the CUPS web interface:

http://localhost:631/admin

Click on ‘Add Printer’ and enter your root credentials when prompted. From there, follow the instructions given. When you get to entering the model, don’t choose Epson. Instead, navigate to the PPD (located in the directory mentioned above), and select the required driver: Epson-Stylus_Office_BX305_Series-epson-driver.ppd.gz

Now you should be good to go.
