Hello everyone,

I installed ZorinOS and tried to install my printer Epson Stylus SX-130 and I downloaded the drivers from here : http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/du/02 ... 6ca28faf67 and here : http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/du/02 ... 530f0833d6

I can make the scanner work but I can't print anything.

Anyone could help me ?

Hi and welcome to Zorin forum! :D

Have you tried going to Menu | System Tools | System Settings | Printing and adding a printer to see if Epson SX-130 is listed under the Epson drivers? :D

Yes it is and I added it as the default printer, and when I use the command "lpq -a" I can see the print queue but nothing happens on the hardware side ... It's really strange :?: :?:

OK, this 'usually' works - it takes you to the same interface - have found it works on other Ubuntu based distros when the graphic does not work immediately:

Code:
system-config-printer
from a Terminal (Menu | Accessories | Terminal) usually works best! :D
