Connect wireless Epson Printer

20,225

For my Epson XP 231 for Ubuntu 16.04, I did the following steps:

Windows

  • I configured with a Windows 10 the printer (to enter my wifi and upgrade firmware).

On Ubuntu

  • I installed driver package with: sudo apt install printer-driver-escpr
  • I entered "System Settings -> Printers -> Add"
  • In Network Printer it appeared, I selected it and selected the recommended driver

P.S: I tried to install the drivers mentioned from Epson, but only a scanner driver appeared on the official page (and it didn't work).

    Is it possible to use the Epson xp-235a with Kubuntu, complete as a wireless printer? If so, where can I find the required drivers and set up procedure? Thanks in advance, Rene.

    Also works for XP430, though the recommended driver is EPSON X-432 435 Series. Tested in Linux Mint 18

    the lsb package is needed at least for later ubuntu versions ("sudo apt-get install lsb" )
