Epson no longer found

Post by amphib »

My Mint18.3 machine stopped recognizing my network printer (Epson WF-3520). It still works fine from my wife's Win10 machine. I figured the Mint machine got dizzy or something so I deleted the epson from the printers and tried to add it back. Now my Mint18.3 machine cannot find the epson on my network at all. I tried reinstalling the linux debian driver from the epson site, but haven't had much luck doing that.
Help?

Have you installed the lastest Epson software release?
it was dated very recently, like in the last 4 or 5 weeks?

it totally solved my problems with Epson ET-2550 which could not be installed period before that new release of Linux drivers.

that driver covers every Epson printer they make

here is my thread on the topic

And, uh, do you realize you're posting on the LMDE2 forum? Wrong place for LM18 questions. Hope you found your answer anyway!

the printer drivers from Epson are for Linux period, not just LM18...

I provided the links to where the drivers can be found, it is up to the user to download the correct version for his OS.
