Automatic Feed not working

Post by rafapa »

Hi,
I am trying to print on a 4x6" photo paper put in the photo tray of an Epson PX820FWD.
I have the feed option to automatic but the photo is printed in the normal A4 paper.
Looking at
/usr/share/turboprint/printers/Epson_StylusPhotoPX820FWD.tpp
I see the lines
;[Feed1]
;Name=Photo Tray
;Param=1,0,258,0

Should I uncoment them? I am using turboprint 2.20.

Thanks

Rafael

Hello,

there is no such setting in the driver - the printer loaded smaller sheets like 4x6 inches / 10x15 cm automatically from the photo tray.
This is similar as in Epson's Windows driver, where the "Tray" setting is visible but fixed depending on the paper size setting.

From which application did you print?
Which paper size did you select?

Please also post the log file /var/log/turboprint/print.log after trying to print on a 4x6 photo card (post only section for last print job starting from "### new print job").

I attach the print.log part corresponding to an failed attempt to print in a 4x6 photo paper. I have both normal and photo trays loaded with print media.

I forgot to tell that I have used okular and gwenview with the same results.

Could you please test what you suggested in your first post:
I see the lines
;[Feed1]
;Name=Photo Tray
;Param=1,0,258,0

Should I uncoment them?
Then execute

sudo tpsetup --update

so that the additional feed setting will also be available in application programs.
Finally, try to print from ocular or gwenview (select "Media source"="Photo Tray" in the application's print dialog).

After uncomenting the lines a Photo Tray option appears but the printing still is produced in the normal A4 paper.

Re: Automatic Feed not working

For the record:
following Florian Zeiler (from Zedonet) suggestion changing to

[Paper4]
Name=Epson Photo Glossy
Gamma=100
Saturation=100
Match=epson_photopaper
Param=11,1,0,0

in /usr/share/turboprint/printers/Epson_StylusPhotoPX820FWD.tpp. The change is from Param=14,1,0,0 to Param=11,1,0,0

solves the problem.

Actually I also run sudo tpsetup --update after making the change.

Thanks again.

Thank you for posting the solution!

For other users with the same problem:

The problem "4x6 / 10x15cm paper not fed from the photo tray" occurs only with the media setting "Epson Photo Glossy" and will be fixed in the next TurboPrint release.
To get TurboPrint version 2.21 and earlier working, use the patch described above.
