There are some Japanese-market-only printers with firmware especially made for the demands of the Japanese language. These do not support PostScript or PCL but use a proprietary printer language. Probably your printer is such a device and the LP-M5000 is perhaps the same hardware but with a firmware for the US and Europe. So you will need the manufacturer-supplied driver.
The problem you encounter with it is that you are on a 64-bit system and the driver -s 32-bit. Check whether you can download a 64-bit driver and use that one. If there is none, try to install the "ia32-libs" package which provides 32-bit binaries of the most important libraries. See also the possibilities for architecture overrides in the dpkg and dpkg- buildpackage utilities. As a last mean you could set up a virtual machine running a Ubuntu Server Edition set up as a print server and install the 32-bit driver there. -- Driver for Epson LP-5500 series missing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/602976 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
