1 year ago I installed Ubuntu 14.04 on a hard disk, printer worked (became audible clicks and hard drive died a few days after that I did not have larger hard drives, I could not buy, and I began to look for an axis running from the flash drive, more than any other I liked Porteus). I can show the printer in Linux Mint 17.1 Mate by Enriki x86.

Hi Novichok,
What is the exact error you are getting?
I see that you are able to install the Epson L210 printer in Porteus. Are you on 32bit or 64bit Porteus?
Can you pls post the output from this command when the printer is connected?
lpinfo -v | grep usb:// | cut -d" " -f2 | head -n1

While my h/d was giving up the ghost, managed to transfer the Kanotix system to two USBs (one fallback).

More than two years running from USB before was able to get new computer at knock-down price, being sold empty without o/s, and this was something like a year before Porteus had come on the scene.
Been a while since used CUPS, as new printer has no parallel printer socket, have to use Ghostscript and transfer to old m/c, using DSL to work the printer. Anyway have looked at 32-bit rpm: epson-inkjet-printer-201207w-1.0.0-1lsb3.2.i486.rpm from
http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/op/st ... 2.i486.rpm(This is info which might be of use to anyone else who can help)

Filter
Some drivers are simply a filter into which generic bitmap output of Ghostscript is piped. This was one of the first solutions to make printer drivers without compiling them into Ghostscript. The filter executables are usually installed into the standard search path for programs (/usr/bin or /usr/local/bin).

Open Printing CUPS2. Install a PPD file.
CUPS requires a PPD file to define how it will use the printer and driver (if any). PPD files come from several sources, be sure you get yours from the right place:
If you have a PostScript printer
Obtain the PPD file from your printer's vendor. Several vendors post PPDs on the OpenPrinting web site. Go to your printer's entry and look whether a driver named "Postscript-<vendor name>" is available. Take the PPD from this driver entry. Other sources are the printer manuafacturer's web site (look for a package for Linux or Unix, Windows and Mac packages are often not simple to extract on a Linux machine) on the driver CDs which come with the
Epson L220 driver, or on a Windows or Mac OS X partition if the printer was already set up on that operating system. You do not need a driver (Step 1), just the PPD file.
If you do not have a PostScript printer
You will need a driver. The OpenPrinting database can help yopu find a suitable one. Several drivers can be downloaded there as a ready-to-use binary package for all LSB-compliant distributions. In any case, you find links to driver project pages. If the driver does not ship a PPD file, use the PPD file offered to you by the OpenPrinting database. Follow the "download PPD" link in such a case. Save downloaded PPD files in /usr/share/ppd, /usr/share/cups/model, or wherever your CUPS setup has its PPD directory. The PPD file does not need to be executable, but it should be world-readable and should have the file name extension ".ppd".
thanks explained very well
