Solved

Hello,

on Ubuntu Linux, I have an XP-2105 printer, it prints blank pages, under Windows 10 no issues. I believe Ubuntu automatically installed the wrong driver. Where can I download the right one?
a deb file would be simpler for me.

Thank you in advance.

Configuration: Windows / Opera 74.0.3911.218

    I don't think it's possible, it's configured for one, and the rest... otherwise, it needs to be configured... it's an HP Printer... and you're printing over the local network, not over the internet.

    The solution is to make it a network printer with an IP number on the Wi-Fi of your BOX (not direct wifi).

    So, whatever PC or tablet wants to print, it will print to the name given to this printer and it will work for everyone... After that, you still have to go get the paper.

    I don't quite see where you went in your menus...???

    Hello,
    You will find your drivers here:
    http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/searchModule
    Select the .deb packages and follow the installation instructions

    To be able to use it on the network, just share it...

    Hello,

    There isn't really a driver to install... use CUPS

    You type in your web browser's address "localhost:631"
    then go to ADD printer... and follow the menus

    Here is Ubuntu https://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/cups
