I am experiencing a problem trying to install an Epson WF-4630 All-In-One driver(s). I have been referencing the tutorial found at How to install Epson printer drivers on Ubuntu 16.04?.

I get an error message on step four,

dpkg: error processing archive yourdriver.deb (--install):
 cannot access archive: No such file or directory
Errors were encountered while processing:
 yourdriver.deb

I tried typing the driver file download name, epson-inkjet-printer-es....11-1lsb3.2_amd64-2.deb and received the following error message,

dpkg: error processing archive epson-inkjet-printer-es....11-1lsb32_amd64-2.deb (--install):
 cannot access archive: No such file or directory
Errors were encountered while processing:
 epson-inkjet-printer-es....11-1lsb32_amd64-2.deb

I also referenced the video tutorial here, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2ONxicbwP4. My system does not accommodate the auto-install feature and downloaded driver files ope in Read Only mode.

Does anyone have any suggestions or resources to overcome this issue?

Thanks in advance.

  • Okay, so as soon as I posted this, I was able install most, but not all of the drivers I require. The scan driver is a different file download and appears to require "Root Privilege" to install. I know this is risky and not sure how to access the root to complete scanner driver installation. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Here is what I did:

  1. Download: epson-inkjet-printer-escpr_1.4.1-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb

    from: www.openprinting.org/printer/Epson/Epson-WF-4630_series
    
  2. Add trusty repositories:

    A. sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

    B. Add the following line to the end of the file:

    deb  http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/  trusty  main
    

    C. sudo apt-get update

  3. Run: sudo apt-get install lsb

  4. sudo dpkg -i epson-inkjet-printer-escpr_1.4.1-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb

  5. Remove the trusty repositories:

    A. sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

    B. Remove the line you entered above.

    C. Run: sudo apt-get update

  6. Use SystemSettings->Printers to install the printer. Mine was a network printer.

  7. For some reason, the print was very light until I changed the printer options and selected media type of "plain papers-High". Then it seemed to print at normal strength.
