http://ubuntuforums.org – Hi guys, forst of all sorry if my english is not perfect :D Im started using ubuntu two months ago, and now im trying to switch my office's pc to ubuntu too. Everythings works perfectly, the only problem i have is with the printers: i have 4 Epson usb printers, 2 R285 and 2 P50 linked to my pc. Those printers works, but seem like ubuntu consider them as 2; Printer A: Epson P50; Printer B: Epson P50; Printer C: Epson R285; Printer D: Epson R285; So, the first P50 i switch on is the one ubuntu see: if i switch on (Hardware)

I would like some guidance on printing from Ubuntu 12.10 on a Windows 7 printer.

I have a VAIO laptop with a dual boot setup of Ubuntu/Windows 7. My original printer (Canon PIXMA MP760) was no problem but that unit decided to give up on me today and I now have an EPSON XP-300.

This unit works fine with Win 7 but there does not seem to be a driver available for Linux.

I previously had this working with Ubuntu 10.x, and just recently upgraded to 12.04 (64 bit).

I had installed the driver from Epson: epson-inkjet-printer-escpr_1.2.0-1lsb3.2_i386.deb, and now also tried: epson-inkjet-printer-escpr_1.2.2-1lsb3.2_i386.deb but neither worked.

I have a EPSON Epson Stylus Office BX305 Plus printer and i want to scan some documents but i can't scan them via usb or network? I got it to work under windows via a driver I downloaded but in Ubuntu i can't get it to work. i installed the driver via system-config-printer (1.3.8).

I am running Ubuntu 11.10 and am new to Linux. I have this great Epson Stylus Photo 1400 printer which I love because it prints great quality photos and furthermore it can do wide format. But since I ditched windows and went with ubuntu I haven't been able to print to my epson.

Hi,

I have just installed an Epson WP4535-DWF Ethernet connected printer on 192.168.0.19 (Reserved ip).

It's working under Windows 7 and XP clients....

Now I want to access it from my Ubuntu 11.10

I came across this site

http://www.openprinting.org/printers

Which says this model of printer works very well under Ubuntu

(And there seems to be at least three different drivers for it !!!!!!!!!

EPSON PRINTER XP405WH 32 weeks 4 days ago

I am trying to find a printer that will run with my Ubuntu 11.04 installation and, having just been to my local PCWorld store, wonder if this Epson printer will run with Ubuntu.

I already have a Lexmark 1480 printer but there is no Ubuntu compatible for this printer so I need another one.

If any one can help, It would be much appreciated.

Many thanks.
