Not so much 'new' as tentative, and octogenarian! I am running Linux Mint 18 Sarah on an Intel Pentium Gold G5400 processor.
My old HP all-in-one USB printer died after long service and an Epson XP-6105 all-in-one wifi has been bought to replace it. This model does not appear in the options for adding a printer via Admin/Printers.
The Epson on-line instructions tell me to install LSB before proceeding, which I have done via
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install lsb
The README instructs: Change to the folder where you downloaded the scanner driver bundle, extract it and install all components with
Code: Select all
tar xaf imagescan-bundle-linuxmint-18-3.55.0.x64.deb.tar.gz
cd imagescan-bundle-linuxmint-18-3.55.0.x64.deb
./install.sh
Assuming I need both the options referred to above, I am faced with a choice of 5No. variations for each group, namely:
epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2-1.0.34-1lsb3.2.i486.rpm
epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2_1.0.34-1lsb3.2_i386.deb
epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2-1.0.34-1lsb3.2.x86_64.rpm
epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2_1.0.34-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb
epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2-1.0.34-1lsb3.2.src.rpm
and
epson-printer-utility-1.0.2-1lsb3.2.i486.rpm
epson-printer-utility_1.0.2-1lsb3.2_i386.deb
epson-printer-utility-1.0.2-1lsb3.2.x86_64.rpm
epson-printer-utility_1.0.2-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb
epson-printer-utility-1.0.2-1lsb3.2.src.rpm
Which of these do I need? Simple advice/instructions will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
