Description of problem: Feature request Driver for Epson ET-3600 ecotank printer not yet included. Request addition of this driver to the list of printers supported in this package. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try adding ET-3600 printer 2. This model is not listed 3. Actual results: No driver available Expected results: Driver available in choices Additional info: Can get printer to print over ethernet connection by selecting ET-4550 ppd. Have not tried scanner function yet. Also tried driver packages offered on Epson site for both Fedora 23 and 24. Neither seems to include the ppd for this printer, even though driver was supposed to support this device (via iscan).
I can't add a driver that doesn't exist. If upstream's open source driver supports your printer, then the Fedora package can be updated.
I just got an Epson ET-3600 and got it printing successfully (via ethernet/LPD interface) from F24 with the EPSON ET-2550 Series (ESC/P-R) driver. The only thing it doesn't seem to support is two-sided printing (the hardware does). The Epson's Linux driver page for the ET-3600 doesn't list anything except the scanner driver (which works). Poking around in the hive-mind (and finding this bug), I read the 4550 ESC/P-R driver (attached) can work. This can be found by going to: http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/searchModule and searching for "ET-4550" and "Linux". I'll try it out in a second. However, since this printer also "works" with the ET-2550 driver, we clearly already provide most of the important bits, they just need some minor tweaking (for two-sided printing) and listing under the ET-3600 name :D

Success! I couldn't add the printer via GNOME settings, or system-config-printer, but got it working from the cups interface directly. From my F25 laptop: 1) Click "add printer" at http://localhost:631/admin 2) Choose Discovered Network Printers: EPSON ET-3600 Series (EPSON EPSON ET-3600 Series) 3) Tweak name/description, click continue 4) Hit "Or Provide a PPD File", and point it to /opt/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr/ppds/Epson/Epson-ET-4550_Series-epson-inkjet-printer-escpr.ppd.gz 5) Set options: print quality: High Duplex Tumble: 2-side long edge Media Size: whatever 6) Click set default options 7) Maintenance -> print test page
This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '24'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life.

Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.
