Hi Sophie,

I'm really very pleased that it all worked for you eventually.

There were some false starts and some misunderstandings but the main 
thing is that IT WORKS :)

We don't normally delete emails from the mailing lists - they are there
to explain how things happened and how solutions were found.

These emails also led to people explaining various facts about
how to use the mailing list - maybe these will help other people.

Herzlichen Gluckwuenshen

Dear Sophie,

Epson do not formally support Linux for many of their printers.
They do provide some uofficial Linux packages. Among these are ones for 
your printer.

I only understand a little German. I am installing a Debian Linux 11 virtual
machine in German in order to help you better.

http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/ - the Epson web site.

If you put M1120 into the search box, do not put anything into operating system
and press Enter, you get 20 results.

Follow the links for the Epson printer driver for Linux - accept the license
conditions.

Download - epson-printer-utility_1.1.1-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb

Also run the command that they suggest (as root or by using sudo):

apt install lsb

Install the supporting library for Epson printers from Debian

apt install escputil 

Now follow the tutorial page. Install escputil first, then the Epson printer
driver.

If this fails - tell us *exactly* what fails, error messages and so on.

All the very best, as ever,

Andy Cater

OK. I'm going to have one more go at this. For the avoidance of doubt:
I'll assume that Sophie is genuine - maybe a teenager, certainly
someone whose first language is German.

I'm going to assume good faith, despite some evidence to the contrary.**

>From looking on Epson's website:

1. They do not support this printer under Linux officially.

2. The printer is listed as a printer supported only under Windows - lots
of variants.

3. It is listed as a GDI compatible printer - this is indicative of a printer
that requires a specific Windows driver to compose the page.

4. It is compatible with older Epson printing protocols called Esc/P and
Esc/P-R.

5. Epson do have a filter program available to make this printer work
as an Esc/P printer under Linux using CUPS to manage the printer.

6. If CUPS setup is possible - you will need to read documents to be
able to set up CUPS.

This is possibly not the best advice: I would suggest that you find a

This is why nobody is offering you any more help.  You are presenting

Epson doesn't appear to have created one for this printer:

http://tech.epson.com.au/downloads/product.asp

http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/searchModule

and Openprinting appears to have nothing on it.
It appears you have purchased a boat anchor.
This leaves you with two options:
buy a very cheap desktop box off a recycler with Windows loaded to use
as a driver box, or
buy another printer, using the above links as reference points as to
what might be worth your money.
Cheers!

AW: EPSON ET M 1120 new printer: If You can read this, you are using the wrong driver

[Schwibinger Michael]

Good morning

It is not an AI problem
the printer is saying:

 EPSON ET M 1120 new printer: If You can read this, you are using the wrong 
driver

I think
EPSON tried to help.

Thank You.

...follow the money. Microsoft has dumped such an outrageous amount
of that into OpenAI as to be relevant. Besides, they're now feeling
all smug for having (at least ostensibly) out-maneuvred Google, for
once.

Besides... history. They already released one AI (on twitter?) which
ended up misbehaving.

Epson doesn't appear to have created one for this printer:

http://tech.epson.com.au/downloads/product.asp

http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/searchModule

and Openprinting appears to have nothing on it.
It appears you have purchased a boat anchor.
This leaves you with two options:
buy a very cheap desktop box off a recycler with Windows loaded to use
as a driver box, or
buy another printer, using the above links as reference points as to
what might be worth your money.

Murder by a Hanlon razor. Now that would be... something.

I used to be on Hanlon's side; slowly, that one is decaying.
It seems that you were right, after all.

Perhaps this is just a dark tentacle of ChatGPT, probing the
more fringe aspects of human psychology. It's coming from
a Microsoft domain, after all.

Maybe they wanted to let the world participate in the experience of a
"Hurz!" performance.

Regrettably there is no english version of
  https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurz!
So i try to translate the first sentences:

  Hurz! is a tv prank by Hape Kerkeling and Achim Hagemann, which belongs
  to the best known works of Kerkeling. [...] aired in 1991 [...]
  Kerkeling and Hagemann pretend to be polish musicians who [...] present
  the unaware audience an alleged excerpt from an opera by a fictive
  contemporary classic composer. Although the text is comprised of short
  nonsense passages which get multiple times interrupted by the outcry
  "Hoorts!", parts of the audience try hard to find a sincere
  interpretation during the subsequent discussion.


About half of the audience of the thread "Debian bootet nicht / Screenshot"
at
  https://lists.debian.org/debian-user-german/2022/10/threads.html
makes mocking comments about the overall Sophie show. The other half is
quarreling over the question whether Hanlon's Razor cuts correctly in this
case.
In
  https://lists.debian.org/debian-user-german/2023/03/msg00123.html
i see 100% non-Hanlon opinions including a "sudo rm -R /" assassination
attempt.

It means that person has put you on their ignore list, or killfile, or
whatever it's called in their mail reader.  They have chosen never to
see anything you write, ever again.

If you still have issues with your printer, I strongly advise you to ask
on the German mailing list, or whichever mailing list speaks your primary
language.  I don't think anyone on this list is interested in continuing
to offer help to you.

The EPSON ET M1120 does not come with enough intelligence to be certified
as AirPrintint-capable. Therefore, it may or may not be be a driverless
device. The printer would need to be queried and its attributes examined
to make a decision.

The problem is people not being patient and not being helpful.
Somewhere in the list of messages, there is one from me asking
people to be helpful - I see you have copied it below..

I'm guessing Sophie is a young person and is working in English
which for her is a second language. I'm also guessing that she
is doing this because she wants to learn for herself.

There is a Debian user mailing list in the German language if
this would be more helpful.

The lists of messages often all have the same subject even if the question
changes. That's fine but can be confusing at times.

My latest message was asking a series of questions so that we can
perhaps narrow down the problem.

Agreed: in this instance, however, we've had a series of emails from this
person in the past. Most of them don't reset a subject so go on a long time
on various subjects in the same thread.

That said: people - please remember that this list is subject to the Code
of Conduct. Part of that involves being constructive and helpful: sniping
doesn't really help at all.

We are all human and can get annoyed when someone just doesn't *get it*
but it's useful to remember that email is hard because you can't see
the circumstances of the person on the other end. That's also one of
the reasons why these threads keep asking for technical details / accuracy:
whenever these sorts of questions get asked, we're using guesswork because
we can't see over your shoulder.

Yes, it does.
It doesn't take a quantum leap in realisation to identify it as ET-

When I searched for

Epson ET M 1120

I got a suggestion that I may have meant "M1120" instead of the last two
search terms, and hits for the "Epson EcoTank ET M1120" and/or "Epson
EcoTank M1120", which look to be different names for the same model and
to be a fairly clear match.

While, yes, specifying the exact name clearly would be preferable, this
is far from unreasonably difficult to figure out.

Your replies to the OP have been fine, AFAIK. The OP's message was
itself a reply, as can be seen by looking at its headers (In-Reply-To:
and References:), but was otherwise presented as if it had been the
start of a new thread; that is not fine, because it hides the "new
thread" inside of the existing one, at least for anyone using a threaded
view of the list of messages.

Hello

I am confused.

Its said
You can use any driver from EPSON
to use a printer.

Bit it is not working.

I did open GEDIT
ordered "PRINT"
but no reaction.

Thank You.

The EPSON ET M 1120 doesn't exist. Do we have to guess its correct name as well
as any other relevant information?

I haven't a clue what you are going on about here. Shift-L in mutt was used at

I think your problem is you have to change the driver your system 
already has to the new standard Epson driver.


You should ask how to do this on the Debian German list

The Epson ET-M1120 printer supports the Epson ESC/P-R printer language, 
which is a command protocol used by Epson printers.


To install the printer driver for Linux, you can follow these steps:

Connect the printer to your computer and make sure it is turned on.
Open your Linux terminal and run the following command to update your 
system package list:


sudo apt-get update

Install the printer driver by running the following command:

sudo apt-get install printer-driver-escpr

Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

Certainly. I was meaning that bullet-point item as an addendum to the
list you provided (which I understand to have been aimed at the OP), not
as something directed at you.

"Subject:" says "EPSON ET M 1120"
AFAICT it's a monochrome printer from 2019 with some kind of ink tank.
Given the timescale, it probably supports driverless printing.

The make *was* stated: Epson.

The model may also have been stated, albeig only in the Subject line: ET
M1120. From a bit of Googling, the "ET" appears to stand for "EcoTank".

You could consider:

  * Stating the Debain OS being used.
  * Giving the printer make and model.
  * Specifying the connection method. USB. Network.
  * Giving the exact error message and where it came from.

The name of the printer

The wrong software is:

EPSON does not accept Linux.
Is this true?

It depends on which printer you are using?
It sounds like the person you are talking to at Epson doesn't know what
he/she's talking about.
Epson supply many Linux drivers for their printers on their site.
I have a WF-C5290 which works just fine that way.
Cheers!
