@taivlam, I was also getting 403
errors from download.ebz.epson.net
when downloading through makepkg
instead of my browser using my personal IP. The solution was to add a custom user-agent (I chose Mozilla
), and it now works fine. I have added this to all epson-inkjet-printer-*
packages that download from this specific server, as download3.ebz.epson.net
seems to work fine. Can you please try again with the custom user-agent to confirm whether some IPs are also blocked?
Also, does the package work for you? I have already received a few positive reports from other devices, but I just wanted to make sure.

BTW, if you are using a personal VPN, then you might encounter an HTTP 403 Forbidden status error during the download phase. The solution is to simply switch to another location which isn't blocked. I just wanted to let other users know, in case this happens to them.
