Hello,

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

Thank you.

Configuration: Linux / Chrome 99.0.4844.51

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.

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