It seems to be in a loop just asking for the password.
The print queue does show a queued document and says it is printing.
I tick "remember password" but it doesn't do anything. It is continuously asking for the password in order to print. The printer now does not throw an error message. Not knowing what I am doing here but I seem to have done some good. So I searched the synaptic package manager for "cups" and I identified an Epson package with WF-3540 in the title. I have no idea what I am doing, but have nothing to lose. I am not sure what I am doing here but the Ubuntu forum suggests applying the cups package from the synaptic package manager. Within the last few minutes, I have actually made some progress, I think. There is just one instance of the printer installed. The path you pointed out to the cups directory where the filter file "should be" is correct, I copy/pasted from the error message. This installs OK but Mint reports the missing print filter file. I installed the printer again but this time selecting a local driver and browsing to it, then applying it. So, I downloaded the correct Epson drivers as above. I can leave it installing for an hour but it makes no progress. I tried letting Mint automatically identify and download the drivers but it hangs when installing. Neither Mint v18.2 nor 17.3 seem to have a native driver in the Mint driver database for the WF-3540. I would suggest deleting any icon that does not have drag the window to the right so you can see all the writing.
So if one RIGHT-CLICKS on each icon that there may be selects PROPERTIES. If one opens the PRINTERS folder and sees how many icons there are for the WF-3540 as Mint may well make an initial attempt to set it up automatically and will choose what it thinks is the nearest driver that might do. which if wireless needs to be accepted by the router first of all, before any drivers are installed When one downloads the Epson driver, step 2) may not happen so one needs to. lpadmin being the linux printing admin system. there are usually 2 steps:Ģ) register the printer with the lpadmin system. If you just want the generic driver, get it from here. one needs to search through the list of packages that one could use, and select gdebi installer if gdebi is not the preferred option for the OPEN option. the option to OPEN should mean that gdebi installer is offered this should allow one to install the deb package there and then. 1c41e74b71 for a 64bit Mint one should opt for epson-inkjet-printer-201212w_1.0.0-1lsb3.2_b and when one clicks to DOWNLOAD, then the box that appears should offer to SAVE or OPEN. So to install the drivers I see Epson supply 2 drivers one they call a full feature, and the other is more genericįor the full feature from here.
