networking - How to fix: Epson wireless networked printer aborts after printing half a page

Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS



Epson Stylus TX550W multifunction printer (copies, scans, but no fax): The first time I managed to discover the printer on my wireless LAN. However, when printing the Ubuntu Test Page, only one-third was printed, then the printer stopped.



Then I installed these deb-packages:




epson-inkjet-printer-stylus-tx550w-series_1.0.0-1lsb3.2_i386.deb
openprinting-gutenprint_5.2.7-1lsb3.2_i386.deb
epson-inkjet-printer-escpr_1.4.0-1lsb3.2_i386.deb
iscan_2.29.3-1~usb0.1.ltdl7_i386.deb
iscan-data_1.27.0-1_all.deb
iscan-network-nt_1.1.1-1_i386.deb


When I search for new printers at 192.168.0.2 (found from my WiFi routers page), it "finds" an HP Laser JetDirect (?).




If I put socket://192.168.0.2 in the URI or host box, it starts Foomatic and I can choose manufacturer (Epson), model (Stylus TX550W), and a choice of CUPS, Gutenprint, or special Seiko Linux drivers.



But it still prints only one third of any page, whether it be from a brower, LibreOffice, or Ubuntu Test Page, before it stops. The status can be Stopped or Stopped - bad printer configuration.



Does anybody know what to do?
