WARNING: Ubuntu 8.04 / 8.10. The pips/AVASYS method seems to have a broken pips package, but the printer works perfectly. However, if you do an update or other install with Synaptic, it will try to fix whatever is broken and this will break your printer driver and your printer will no longer work. Be sure to uninstall your driver before doing any updates or installs with Synaptic, then reinstall. See post #2 for more details. You may also want to check out post #4 for an alternative driver. ****** Original Instructions begin here ****** We're going to use something called pips from AVASYS This seems like a lot of steps, but its not, because I even included navigating the AVASYS website in the instructions which was probably not necessary.

WARNING: After installation, I got a warning from Synaptic saying I needed to do a partial update or fix broken packages or something. If you do, you'll lose your printer and won't be able to reinstall it.

If you want to do an upgrade or install other applications with Synaptic package manager, uninstall your printer first, then do your upgrade/install, then re-install your printer. How to uninstall: the 'ss21' below is the name of your printer, if yours is different, e.g. St21, then replace the ss21 with st21. /usr/local/EPAva/printer/ss21/uninstall-ss21.sh IF you are not sure what your printer name is, no problem, Use Nautilus and go to the /usr/local/EPAva/printer folder and see what the folder name is--that is the name of your printer. OR You can use the terminal, like so: me@me-laptop:~$ cd /usr/local/EPAva/printer me@me-laptop:/usr/local/EPAva/printer$ ls ss21.

You might be interested to know that this method worked when I installed in Ubuntu 9.40 but after upgraded, actually new install, to Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala and tried the same procedure it did not work. The install part takes part as you explain but Once the printer is switched on Ubuntu launches its own procedure to install the printer and it does not recognize the pips install. It even chose the driver for another Epson printer. It works but it is a bit strange that there is always that there are that many differences between different Ubuntu versions. So an update for Installing an Epson Stylus T21 in 9.10 might be in order.
