-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora EPEL Update Notification FEDORA-EPEL-2022-d4c2afd846 2022-09-30 01:58:23.569515 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2 Product : Fedora EPEL 9 Version : 1.1.49 Release : 1.1lsb3.2.el9 URL : http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/?OSC=LX Summary : Drivers for Epson inkjet printers Description : This package contains PPD files for newer Epson Inkjet printers which are not available in the fully open source epson-inkjet-printer-escpr driver.
The escpr2 driver relies on a binary blob in the source package, which has been removed in Fedora. The PPD files have been patched to use the open source escpr driver, instead.
Although many of the PPD files work with the older, fully open source driver (e.g. ET-3700 seems to work), it is quite likely that some don't. This is not a bug in the Fedora package, but a limitation of the partly closed-source upstream drivers.
