What worked for me was changing the build function to this:
build() {
cd "$pkgname-$pkgver"
aclocal
autoconf
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--with-cupsfilterdir=/usr/lib/cups/filter \
--with-cupsppddir=/usr/share/ppd
make
}
(I don’t know how to do newlines here so: https://pastebin.com/3ARnHjqy) This seems to rebuild aclocal.m4 and configure with the installed version of the GNU Build System.
I am getting an exception when building the new version (1.0.27) of this package, saying "'automake-1.15' is missing on your system". The automake in the Arch repos is 1.16.1 - I assume thats the problem? If someone else has the problem and knows how to fix it, I can update the PKGBUILD
Looks like it's broken again. Along with the first one
you always have a stay on top of them. thanks very much for link and hash, updated
looks like they did it again... https://download3.ebz.epson.net/dsc/f/03/00/08/18/36/2720920e2f74303ecaaed1b4ded05bef250abce7/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2-1.0.23-1lsb3.2.src.rpm

another random update that 404s the old link - updated again
It appears there is a new driver version available as the current download link returns "File not found".
Is it possible to update to the new driver URL? Thanks!

There's a new version of the rpm. If you could update the package will be awesome.

Thank you!
Unfortunately the PKGBUILD fails for me. Seems the link has changed again according to a new version: https://download3.ebz.epson.net/dsc/f/03/00/07/40/95/bdb3928f99c2dcc486a29a5c91f470682166e998/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2-1.0.17-1lsb3.2.src.rpm edit: sha256sum is f0ddfd93540d035d5a6f51ce021572ec0f066449dd00cbec56ec9f048045ba3a but I guess you would verify anyway :-)

With every release I update the keywords (see Package Details above) containing a list of all Epson printer series supported by this driver. Additionally, SUPPORTED-PRINTERS at the GitLab repository gitlab.com/at.gentoo.repo/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2 also contains a list of supported printers.
Most Epson Inkjet printers are covered by either this package or epson-inkjet-printer-escpr. If your printer is not supported by this package, be sure to check the other one. You may also want to consult the Wiki, specifically CUPS and CUPS/Printer-specific problems#Epson.
Note: all packages from AUR require
base-devel, please read Arch User Repository as a user or PKGBUILD#makedepends for details on PKGBUILD.
