I am running ubuntu 16.04 on an Acer 64bit laptop. I have followed all installation procedures from the support website from Epson and from Ubuntu support and have failed to install the Epson ET-3600 Eco-Tank driver.



I downloaded all drivers available for this unit for Linux a none of them seems to work. I managed to install the printer, but the following error appears when I try to print a test page.




There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'client-error-document-format-not-supported'.




Any help with this issue is highly appreciated. Thank you in advance.



I started the installation of the core package and three drivers with the package manager.

  • so if I was doing this, I would start here download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/?OSC=LX at the linux portal; for Epson; and when I do that, Epson don't seem to offer a printer driver for this device; they do offer one for the ET-2000series, ET-4000 and the ET-7000series; however the good folks at Turboprint DO have a driver zedonet.com/… and they offer a very high-quality product; they ask for a contribution, so they can put food on the table but you will buy a very high quality product that should work well

  • I think this thread needs a PRINTING label attached to it; I guess that is forum moderators that do this; the printer is the ET-3600 Eco-Tank from Epson

I found that using the Epson ET-2600 driver works for printing on the ET-3600.



http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/?OSC=LX



Search for ET-2600, linux. Download the driver, not the driver utility. Install the deb for your arch. Connect the USB cable, add printer dialog, select epson, then et-2600 through cups. Works a treat.
