I would like to install an Epson XP 2105 printer. There are drivers being offered to me; which one should I choose?

Thank you.

    Hello,

    You can install the packages 
    printer-driver-escpr
    (driver for Epson printers) and 
    escputil
    (utility for maintaining Epson printers) in advance (you can also install 
    printer-driver-all
    outright). Additionally, you need to install 
    cups
    , and I also recommend 
    system-config-printer
    (which allows wrapping CUPS in the configuration panel). In a terminal, type: 

    sudo apt update sudo apt install printer-driver-all escputil cups system-config-printer


    Then, as indicated by jeannets, declare your printer in CUPS (or through the configuration panel if you installed 
    system-config-printer
    , it's equivalent).

    Good luck!

    Hello,

    In my opinion, I suggest using CUPS; in the address bar of your web browser, type "localhost:631" and hit enter ... You should see the CUPS 2.3.1 page if that's the case or another version... go to the "Administration" tab then click on "Add Printer"... it will ask for your Ubuntu username and password okay then you need to choose local printer or network printer (it must be connected and turned on) you select from the list of what it has found... etc... Continue.

    You don't install a driver, CUPS does everything.

    Hello
    Epson, on its website https://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/searchModule offers Linux drivers for your XP-2105 model
    A+

    If the answer helped you, a little thumbs up click would be great... If it's solved, that's perfect.

    Let he who has never opened a user manual throw the first mouse ;-)
