Recently I bought an Epson XP-860, to replace the XP-810 that finally quit on me
after many long years of service.
But when I went to install a printer driver, I found that duplex printing is
simply
not available.
It might or might not be significant that the recommended printer drivers are
Epson
XP-820 CUPS/Gutenprint drivers, regular and simplified.
I tried installing the Epson Printer Utility from the Epson site. But that doesn't
seem to do anything to make full duplex available.
You installed epson-inkjet-printer-escpr?
No, that I did not. Should I? What configuration options should I specify?
Yes, I believe you should. And when you configure the driver you should specify the
ppd file Epson-XP-860_Series-epson-escpr-en.ppd.gz.
And where is that file available? I have searched high and low using what I think
is a reputable and powerful search engine, under every kind of phrase. All I get is
a link to an rpm file I already have, and have already installed. I looked
specifically for the link to download the ppd file you named, and have not found
it. Anywhere.
Look in /usr/share/ppd/Epson/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr
Actually, the configuration routine found the driver without my having
to specify it manually. The package obviously installed a long list of
ppd files. I found the right one and was then able to specify an option
for full-duplex printing, long edge or short.
