Turboprint 2 linux drivers#
The LInux support is quite OK I have to say, new printer drivers from the AUR.Ī second advice that I can give is: Turboprint! Yes it’s a proprietary printer driver and it does cost you some money, BUT: it has a metric ton of printing features that you don’t get from the Linux drivers and the printing quality is really better than with the EPSON driver. I have it for 18 months now and I am not finished with the first bottles of ink and we had quite a bit of home-schooling for two kids. So I went with an Epson ET-3700, which is rather compact in size (for a multi-device with scanner) and came with a ton of ink to refill the big tanks. I used to have HPs, but when the last one broke and I wanted to get a new one from HP I was quite a bit shocked how they developed … I don’t want to have a HP ink prescription and a printer that orders ink all by its own and refuses to consider alternative inks, thanks HP.
Turboprint 2 linux how to#
But nothing happened, nothing has changed, I have no clue how to use this AUR driver.

Update:? Now reading this thread here I found a Brother 2310D driver in AUR source (which I did not even want to touch or enable as a noob) and installed it by the build button. Am I supposed to sell the Ricoh and the Brother and buy twice as expensive HPs and print at triple cost if I wanna use Linux (especially if not Debian branch)…?

It is so annoying and pity because HP is the worst printer manufacturer on the planet (I worked in IT hardware distribution) and the most expensive one, most closed system etc and only that works on Linux…? Comon… devs should work really really hard on printing. I tried like 15 generic one and 15 other Brother one and PPD files too but nothing… the best result was when it did print 5 empty pages… At home, I am also having the same issue with my Ricoh SP311sfn an Manjaro… With Debian it did work with a half okay SP330sfn driver…Īs far as I see the weakest point of Linux is printing and printer compatibility Me too, I have just bought a Brother L2310Da month ago for our WIn10 office PC at our shot, ow switched to Linux, first to Debian stable and somehow it did work with some feature less driver but since I switched to Manjaro the printer does not work with any driver listed under the printers or from or what.
