To summarize:
- Download Epson-ALCX11-filter-1.1.tar.gz by selecting 'Other' and 'Other' for the distribution and version drop down boxes. It's at the bottom of the section title 'Download for AcuLaser CX11 for CUPS'.
- Once downloaded, do the following to compile and install the driver (commands in square brackets are optional, if you're not sure if something is installed, perform the command):Code:
sudo apt-get install libcupsys2-dev build-essential
tar -zxvf Epson-ALCX11-filter-1.1.tar.gz
cd Epson-ALCX11-filter-1.1/
./configure
sudo make install
[ sudo apt-get install bc ] # this should already be installed on Heron
sudo apt-get install libstdc++5 - Now go to System -> Administration -> Printing
- Go to Edit -> New Printer (your Epson CX11NF should be in the list on the left)
- Click Forward and follow the install Wizard prompts, you should see the driver you just installed listed. Select that and print a test page - voila!
- If you see the job enter the queue briefly and then disappear, with no output from your Epson, try this command to help offer pointers to missing dependencies:Code:/usr/local/bin/pstoalcx11.sh PageSize=lt XY600=5100×6600 MediaType=normal TonerSave=false InputSlot=cassette1 Collate=on Copies=1 Color=color Resolution=600dpi XY600=5100×6600

To summarize the steps to make CX11 run into my Hardy Heron installation are:
- downloading CX11 filter from http://
- apt-get install libcupsys2-dev
- tar -zxvf Epson-ALCX11-
- cd Epson-ALCX11-
- ./configure
- make install
- sudo aa-complain cupsd
- sudo apt-get install libstdc++5
Shortly I added "sudo aa-complain cupsd" to the istructions in http://
sudo cp /usr/local/bin/pstoalcx11.sh /usr/bin/
或是ln亦可。
