Ubuntu seems to have trouble talking to the Epson AL-M1200 printer. These instructions will get it working. Based on a set of instructions found here.
- Download epsoneplijs-0.4.1.tgz -file from here
cd Downloads
(or whatever directory you downloaded the file to)tar zxvf epsoneplijs-0.4.1.tgz
cd epsoneplijs-0.4.1
./configure --prefix=/usr
sudo make install
- Download PPD file from here or here
- Connect your printer to your computer and turn it on. (You can do it in the beginning, but at least now you need it connected and powered on.)
