I note that the following driver is suggested by OpenPrinting:Īnd of course Epson supplies proprietary drivers for the WF-3540 series as well. Yes, many printers are supported by open source drivers (eg gutenprint drivers), and perhaps your printer is supported by one of them. After choosing the printer openSuSE took over and set up the printer and had me create a CUPS account. I did not down load any drivers but installed the printer by using either YaST > Hardware > Printer, orĪll Applications > System > Configuration > Print Settings > Add > Find Network Printer. The 'gutenprint' package supplies an Epson CLI utility called 'escputil' that supports some Epson inkjet printers, including providing ink levels. I'm curious as to how the ink level info is being provided. The printer is on a local network (with static ip address) and not directly connected to my laptop.

Just last week I loaded openSuSE 13.1 64 bit on to a laptop and set up an Epson wf3540 and the ink levels are detected and appear in a graphic image similar to what is shown on the printer's display. Is there anything available in the command line? What about Is that true? Is there any way to override the ink level warning and print a test page? It appears that ink levels are not supported for this printer. Here is a screen shot of the printer settings that I found from the menu inĪll Applications > System > Configuration > Print Settings. Some other posts reference pipslite for Epson, but I haven't found this anywhere. Is the Epson Status Monitor available for Suse 13.1? I installed all of the rpm's with zypper for the NX420, such asĮpson-inkjet-printer-escpr-1.3.1-1lsb3.2.i486.rpmĮpson-inkjet-printer-nx420-1.0.0-1lsb3.2.i486.rpm I expected to use the Epson Status Monitor to override the error and at least print a test page. The problem is that the printer needs new ink cartridges and I am unable to get it to do anything (except scan) at this point. I am even able to use the scanner with the acquire images application. I downloaded the drivers from the Epson website, and everything seems to work fine. After the printer settles down, use on-screen prompt to change cartridges.I recently installed a used Epson NX420 via an USB cable to my desktop running Suse 13.1.

It will create a "no cartridge installed" error and thus erase the "ink cartridge empty" error. Let the printer run without any cartridge.

Power off the printer and leave it about 1 hour then power it on.

Put the OEM cartridge back and use on-screen prompt to change cartridges.

When it has a depleted OEM cartridge error, and a non-OEM cartridge warning come together, it causes the printer to display "cartridge not recognized".

Sometimes Epson printer won't erase previous error code.

It will confuse the printer and thus cause cartridge error.

If you installed cartridge with power off, then printer won't know you changed the cartridge.

If the cartridge seems to be loose, insert folded paper to the back and thus push the cartridge forward to have good contact with the printer. Once it is inside, wiggle it with your finger back and forth. Push it down hard until you hear a click.

Verify that the cartridge is seated in the printer securely.

Make sure the printer's contact pin is clean, free of ink smear and debris.

Make sure the cartridge chip is clean, free of ink smear and debris.
