I have seen a bunch of stuff on the web about this printer on Ubuntu. Now I have done it enough that I wanted to just outline the simple steps:
- apt-get install libcupsys2-dev
- Download Epson-ALCX11-filter-1.1.tar.gz
- from http://www.avasys.jp/lx-bin2/linux_e/mfp/DL1.do
- md5sum should equal d34baebfa6632121b8f6d6464ba0c2e4
- tax xvzf Epson-ALCX11-filter-1.1.tar.gz
- cd Epson-ALCX11-filter-1.1
- ./configure
- make install
- cp /usr/local/bin/psto* /usr/lib/cups/filter
- cp /usr/local/bin/alcx* /usr/lib/cups/filter
- service cups restart
- Open System -> Administration -> Printing
- Open Server -> New-> Printer
- (my Epson is on the network so it finds it imediately)
- Select the Device & Click Next
- Make is Epson – so let it show you a list of ppd files
- Select AL-CX11 from the list
- Name the printer
- Click OK
- Open the printer options
- Select Printer Options Reset Paper size to letter (if applicable)
- Click OK
