 Epson LQ 570+ is not powering on when it press power button ? any clue ? https://rzr.online.fr/q/epson#
 
 

dnssd://epson%20%40%20nrv._ipp._tcp.local/cups?uuid=908d3b77-79ab-3e8b-5bbb-773ed76d3810

To confirm:

• http://localhost:631/admin/
  • Other Network Printers:
  • Internet Printing Protocol (ipp)
  • http://nrv.local/ipp
  • lq570p
  • 180×180 dpi

From control pqnnel / add printer / network/ URL :

http://nrv.local:631/printers/default

Then

use “EPSON LQ-300+ /II ESC/P 2” driver as fallback :(

Is Windows7 still supporting it ?

All this dont work as wanted on Linux or Windows

Switches ( off=down | on=up )
SW1=(1,2,3,4),(5),(6),(7),(8),(9) SW2=(1,2),(3),(4)

. Graphics print : SW1-5 (bi-d. / Uni-d.)
. Protocol Mode : SW1-6 :  ESC/P2 = 0  IBM emu =1

. Recive Buffre SW1-7
. 1 inch Skip SW1-8
. Page length :  SW2-1 / SW2-2 :
11 inch : 0 / 0
12 :  1 / 0
8.5 : 0 / 1
70/6 :  1 / 1
. Auto Tear off SW2-3
. Auto LF : SW2-4

I don't understand why I cannot print any full A4 page

It get out of paper to print just the page footer.. so that's terribly annoying

I tried this with Cups or lpr+gv plus changing switches did not help

With BSD lpr, which print better text files (had troubles w/ accents etc)

apt-get install lpr # will remove cups

How to set page length to A4 in my printer config file (/etc/printcap py=?) ?
for postscript print ? (Mozilla)

If you driver isnt supported in gs --help

maybe it can be workarounded with using wine and its windows driver

apt-get install foomatic-bin gnulpr cups xpdq

Bus 001 Device 003: ID 04b8:0005 Seiko Epson Corp. Printer
model : B391E
s/N: * LBTP040574*

seulement 2 boutons: - * N°: 1, M/A avec LED verte- ( N°: 2, Feed papier/changement cartouche avec LED orange

Actuellement les 2 LED clignotent l'une après l'autre

Si on appui sur le N° 2 il ne se passe rien

Si on appui sue le N° 1 on coupe l'alim si on appui de nouveau ça se remet à clignoter rien de plus, que l'imprimante soit connectée au port USB ou non c'est la même chose

Sur les forum, on parle beaucoup de remettre à zero le compteur page ou encre, mais je n'ai pas pu trouver comment faire pour cette imprimante, et de plus ce n'est peut être pas le PB
