24/05/2020 | Updated version with with gtk+ 3.0, gtkmm 3.0 and libsigc++ 2.0 on GitHub |

The following printers are supported by the current version:
If you find this tool to work with your printer please let me know so I can add it to the list.
This software is licensed under the GPL. It comes with no warranty.
You have to unpack and compile the software. You need gtk+-1.2, gtkmm-1.2 and libsigc++-1.0 installed.
This software does not compile with gcc 3.4 or newer.
You might have to edit the Makefile to suit your needs.
Just do:
tar xzvf epson_setup-0.1.tar.gz cd epson_setup vi Makefile make make install
After that you can start the utility simply by invoking:
epson_setup
As printing command you need to enter a command which sends the data untouched to the printer. On my system I use
lpr -Praw
for that purpose. raw is a printing queue which does not filter the data and passes it unchanged to the printer.
