Epson Workforce 610 Wireless Printing Setup Problems

[jeromyrb]

Having trouble setting up the wireless printing with my Epson Workforce 610 on my computer running Linux Mint 10. I have tried multiple things, including starting completely from scratch with installation a few times.

Originally tried setting it up using the Ad Hoc connection on the printer. The printer name was displayed under wireless connections but when I tried to connect it would continuously ask for the WEP key, and I am sure it was the right code. I downloaded the driver from http://avasys.jp/eng/linux_driver/downl ... kjet/escp/

Would try to connect through the printers menu, and I had it show once I went through and searched with my IP address. I went onto another forum and I followed instructions on changing printer name or something? This was in smb.conf. The name had to be 15 characters or less, so I shortened it. After this it didn't ask for password and it said it printed. But it continually kept printing a new job, even though nothing was happening on the printer. It got to 250 active print jobs, so I restarted the computer.

I reset the all of the printer settings and started over.

I'm not sure if it's related but syslog keeps getting these entries every minute or so even when I'm not doing anything.

Code: Select all

I don't know if I'm having printer trouble, or wireless problems, or both. If anyone has any idea what's going on I would appreciate some help. If you need more info, please ask.

Thanks

Howdy, I know it's been awhile but I just bought a workforce 320 an I got it working on 32bit and 64bit no problem, the only thing is I don't use wireless for it so I can't help you there but I might be able to help getting it going at least none wireless for you.
I wrote a tutorial of what I did to get it going (including the scanner).
Here's the link: http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/513
Hopefully it can at least to get it working properly then the wireless issues can be dealt with.
