Which driver package do you have installed? net-print/gutenprint? If not, install that package and try again. Use the CUPS manager to install and monitor printers in your browser: http://localhost:631/

Also check if the usblp module is loaded, as CUPS 1.4.* does not work with that module loaded. To check if it is loaded, as root user in a Konsole/Terminal window:

Code: Select all

lsmod | grep usblp

To unload it:

Code: Select all

rmmod usblp

Just noticed that there is an ebuild for the Epson Inkjet Printer Driver (ESC/P-R) in Gentoo Bugzilla Bug Report No. 337953. So you could install that via a local overlay if the Gutenprint driver does not work. But try the Gutenprint driver first.

All the commands below must be done as root user (hence the hash prompt shown in the steps below). Open a Konsole/Terminal window and log in as the root user.

1. Synchronise with the Portage repositories those ebuilds on your PC that are in the Portage tree:

Code: Select all

# emerge --sync

2. Add the Sabayon overlay:

Code: Select all

# layman -a sabayon

If it is already added, synchronise with the Sabayon overlay repository those ebuilds on your PC that are in the Sabayon overlay:

Code: Select all

# layman -S

3. Edit /etc/make.conf and make sure it has the following lines in it at the end of the file:

Code: Select all

PORTDIR_OVERLAY="${PORTDIR_OVERLAY} /usr/local/portage/"
ACCEPT_LICENSE="*"

(Delete the line PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage/" if already in the file.)

4. Set up the directories for the local overlay:

Code: Select all

# mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/net-print/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr

5. Stop Portage nagging about a missing name for your local overlay:

Code: Select all

# mkdir /usr/local/portage/profiles
# echo "local_overlay" > /usr/local/portage/profiles/repo_name

6. Go to Gentoo Bugzilla Bug Report No. 337953 and save the file epson-inkjet-printer-escpr-1.0.1.ebuild to your Desktop.

7. Copy the file into the correct directory:

Code: Select all

# cd /usr/local/portage/net-print/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr
# cp /home/fitzcarraldo/Desktop/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr-1.0.1.ebuild .

(Obviously replace "fitzcarraldo" with your user name.)

8. Generate the manifest:

Code: Select all

# ebuild epson-inkjet-printer-escpr-1.0.1.ebuild manifest

9. Merge (install) the package:

Code: Select all

# emerge -1v epson-inkjet-printer-escpr

10. Tell Entropy what you did via Portage:

Code: Select all

# equo rescue spmsync

I have not tried it myself, so do not know if it will install.

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "epson-inkjet-printer-escpr".

emerge: searching for similar names... nothing similar found.

open your terminal su -password then etc-update that should update your config files

Oh, theese are just some important news from Gentoo world that you can read using eselect

emerge -lv epson-inkjet-printer-escpr

It's not an l, but 1 (number)

^Could be a problem with the git package in Entropy: http://forum.sabayon.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=23102. Keep updating and upgrading via Entropy until it works.
