I am trying to install drivers for the Epson TM-T88v thermal printer. I have tried to install

epson-tm-t88v-rastertotmt.ppd driver which seems to see and accept the printer but requires ‘/usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertotmt’ program. But I cannot find this anywhere. Has anyone got this printer installed and working on Fedora 38., and if so how did you ?
Thank you

Where did you get the driver you note?

I just searched on the epson site and could not find any drivers for that particular printer you listed.
TM-T88v

Fedora does not seem to have the program rastertotmt in cups though other linux distros may.

I can search more if I know where you got the driver ppd file.

Additional:
After doing a bit more searching I found this site

and downloaded the linux dirver on my F39 system.
After unpacking the tar file I tried an installation using the install.sh script and it completed the install after I selected the RHEL 6.5 x86_64 distro.

The files that probably should have been in /etc/cups/ppd were placed in /usr/share/ppd instead.
The file you asked about that seemed missing for you was installed on my system.

$ ls /usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertotmu
/usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertotmu


$ ls /usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertotmt
/usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertotmt

I cannot test the printer since I do not have a matching epson printer but the software does seem it may have been installed properly and just has not been configured which would then place the ppd file in /etc/cups/ppd/

Thank you that worked, I can print via command line, but now struggling with permissions to print from PHP on localhost. I will post a new thread as its a different issue.
