Epson Aculaser C1700 drivers for Linux

Post by Jackie78 »

Hi,

I have searched a whole while for Linux drivers for my new color laser printer Epson Aculaser C1700. For your information, I finally found a solution, the following files for the Xerox Phaser 6000B work fine for me:

I hope this will help people using Linux Mint who own the same printer and have trouble finding suitable drivers.

Please pay attention: the driver is for arch i386. If you have amd64 platform you need to install some more i386 libraries with the following command:

Code: Select all

user@mypc:/home/user$ sudo apt-get install libcupsimage2:i386  libstdc++6:i386
With other distribution, look at /var/log/cups/error_log and search if there are more missing libraries...
then install them with the :i386 postfix.

After the installation allt will work fine!
Best regards, Davide

Awesome, thanks for this thread!

As I have AMD, I also had to do what druido2 said. Had some small hickup though, I had to change the "Device URI" to the Aculaser, or it wouldn't print anything (Seems the printer driver got the name of the printer connected via USB, but didn't have a driver for it). Or at least I think that did it. A bit unsure about that as of yet. Anyway, it appears to work great now.

(Yes, years later, but apparently still relevant).
