Hi everyone,
I have an Epson NX430 that will not print. All it does is feed the entire rack of paper through the printer. I had it working with mint 12 but foolishly didn't bookmark the page I found that fixed it. Now that I've done a fresh install of mint 13 cinnamon I've got the same problem again and I can't find the solution anymore.
I've installed the printer by using the regular mint menus and i've tried installing it using the CUPS webui on localhost.
I'm not sure how to go about troubleshooting this. Anyone else here have this problem before? Ideas?
Thanks

Re: Epson NX430 won't print
You will have to install a printer driver as well as the scanner driver. When you have done that, the Epson NX430 will do all the things it is supposed to do. Get your printer and scanner drivers from here:

Thanks! The printer is working now. I'm not sure how to find the scanner driver though. I'm stuck at this page:
http://www.avasys.jp/lx-bin2/linux_e/scan/DL1.do
Not sure what model I'm supposed to pick.
But the main thing i needed was the printing capability so thank you.
Oddly enough, the list of printer drivers included an amd64.deb download and even though I have an AMD athlon 64 x2 4400+ chipset the package manager said it was the wrong one. The i386.deb works fine though.

Re: {SOLVED} Epson NX430 won't print
The scanner driver is on the same page as the printer driver' It comes in two parts called iscan and iscan-data. A further download can be made if you also want the Wi-Fi function ... all these are on the same page. You seem to be looking at the "Scanner" page - these are for stand-alone scanners. Look at the "Multifunction Devices" page, there is a small, almost invisible link to imagescan.
