Solved print/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2

[MasterOne]

So print/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr is available as a port, but not print/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2, which newer Epson printers require.

The current RPM source package from the Epson website: epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2-1.1.32-1lsb3.2.src.rpm

Anyone willing and able to port that one, which would be a nice addition to have a lot more recent Epson printers available for use with FreeBSD?

NOTE: while epson-inkjet-printer-escpr is fully open source, epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2 contains a binary library. If uncomfortable with binary blobs, it may be possible to support newer printers by using PPDs from epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2 with epson-inkjet-printer-escpr.

Any thoughts about this?

Having been in touch with Tatsuki Makino (the maintainer of the escpr driver), he already did it:

PR 255680

Since I'm not able to test it right away, maybe someone else with an escpr2-supported printer wants to give it a try?
