Unhappy Epson WF-2750 driver for Ubuntu available?


Hey gang,

I am having a bit of trouble finding/installing the correct driver for my Epson WF-2750 printer. The installation disc that came with it only had setup options for Windows and Mac (of course), but nothing for Linux. I've thought about using a Windows mirror, just to utilize the printer, but a friend of mine advised against it, since it would be too much of a hassle just to print something (i.g. transferring the files, using more RAM, etc.)
I've searched around on the web for hours and I can't seem to find anything that will work [easily] for this model.The recommended generic drivers offered on Ubuntu don't seem to be compatible either. The only place that might hold some promise is: http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/se...h/searchModule, but I'm not sure which one to choose and/or what to do once the files are downloaded.

*Of course, it should be noted, that I'm a bit of a newbie, regarding terminal commands. -_-;*

It's been a pain, since I actually like the printer itself. Got it on sale and the features are just what the non-doctor ordered. I just need it to work with my OS.

Help, please?

Thumbs up Yasssss

Thank you, Almighty Habi! The printer works perfectly now. The installation/terminal semantics were what had me stumped. (I just need to familiarize myself with the commands.) You've been a great help -- and prompt, too!

Hello and welcome to the forum

Habitual isn't the Almighty but he knows a thing or two about Linux, glad he was able to lend a hand. If you would, please mark this thread as "SOLVED" by clicking on "Thread Tools" directly above your initial post. Thanks!

Regards...

A big thank you

A big thank you guys on this site, and to "Habitual" on this occasion.

In a few minutes, you sorted me out of this problem with my Epson WF 2750, after many hours of searching...

A very good printer. It is still regrettable that the Epson WF 2750's scanner is not easy to install and use with Mint 19.2 (I still use my old Canon MX475 (only for scanning).

It's a shame that Epson do not consider Linux users worthy of making easy-to-install drivers for them too (just like the link in "Habitual"'s post).

Best regards.
