I am trying to get an Epson WF-2540 networked printer working with my SL 6.6 installation. I have downloaded the requisite driver packageepson-inkjet-printer-201211w-1.0.0-1lsb3.2.x86_64.rpm from Epson and it installed without problem. The printer was installed using system-config-printer and is recognized by the system as the only/default printer. Among other things the ink levels are reported as expected for the printer. However, when I try to print a test page it fails and the state reported by CUPS is stopped "/opt/epson-inkjet-printer-201211w/cups/lib/filter/epson_inkjet_printer_filter failed" Attempts to print from LibreOffice and emacs also fail. Running system-config-printer, selecting the printer, and trying to print a test page shows the following. # system-config-printer /usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py:2733: GtkWarning: Failed to set text from markup due to error parsing markup: Error on line 1: Entity did not end with a semicolon; most likely you used an ampersand character without intending to start an entity - escape ampersand as & frame.get_label_widget().set_use_markup(True) /usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py:2735: GtkWarning: Failed to set text from markup due to error parsing markup: Error on line 1: Entity did not end with a semicolon; most likely you used an ampersand character without intending to start an entity - escape ampersand as & self.vbPOptions.pack_start (frame, False, False, 0) /usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py:988: GtkWarning: Failed to set text from markup due to error parsing markup: Error on line 1: Entity did not end with a semicolon; most likely you used an ampersand character without intending to start an entity - escape ampersand as & self.PrinterPropertiesDialog.show () Can anyone suggest what I should do next? For comparison I installed the printer on an SL 7.1 system and have no problems. It works flawlessly on SL 7.1. But there are differences: system-config-printer is a later version than on SL 6.6 and it was not necessary to independently get the driver. The driver is available in the standard SL7 installation.
