Una stampante usb laser a colori di cui Ubuntu non ha driver. La soluzione richiede alien e la creazione dei .deb, ci ho messo un po’ a trovarla e la metto qui. La fonte è Marc Higgins:

It looks like something that ships with Ubuntu doesn’t work with the C1100 & the source file Epson-ALC1100-filter-1.2.tar.gz doesn’t work with ubuntu (well I can’t get it to work). However the redhat rpm’s DO work if they are converted to deb’s & installed. This is what I did to get mine working.

#1 Install the dependencies (this is important, if you don’t do this it won’t work)

[CODE]sudo aptitude install gcc-3.3-base libstdc++5[/CODE]

From here you can decide to;

OPTION A
install the deb files direct from my site below

[url]http://qld.yi.org/it_i/epson-alc1100-filter_1.2-1_i386.deb[/url]
[url]http://qld.yi.org/it_i/epson-alc1100-filter-cups_1.2-1_i386.deb[/url]

Just double click on EACH of these links, that will invoke the Gdebi package installer & install the files.

Then install the printer normally using System > Administration > Printers (AKA system-config-printer) & hopefully you will be printing happily in seconds:)

OPTION B

you can make your own install files using Alien

Install Alien

[CODE]sudo aptitude install alien [/CODE]

Then go to [url]http://www.avasys.jp/english/linux_e/dl_laser.html[/url]

download these 2 files

For Turbo/RedHat/Fedora (Epson-ALC1100-filter-1.2-0.i386.rpm)
For Turbo/RedHat/Fedora (Epson-ALC1100-filter-cups-1.2-0.i386.rpm)

then from a terminal run
[CODE]
sudo alien Epson-ALC1100-filter-1.2-0.i386.rpm[/CODE]
[CODE]sudo alien Epson-ALC1100-filter-cups-1.2-0.i386.rpm [/CODE]

that will create 2 files

epson-alc1100-filter_1.2-1_i386.deb
epson-alc1100-filter-cups_1.2-1_i386.deb

you can then use dpkg -i to install

[CODE]dpkg -i epson-alc1100-filter_1.2-1_i386.deb[/CODE]
[CODE]dpkg -i epson-alc1100-filter-cups_1.2-1_i386.deb[/CODE]

Then install the printer normally using System > Administration > Printers (AKA system-config-printer) & hopefully you will be now be printing happily:)
