problem with installing an epson printer on Debian 12
 
Hello :-)
I'm quite new here and have recently been using debian 12 for work and play. I have a problem with installing the Epson XP-2205 printer in the system. (printer without display, wi-fi / usb which created a wifi-direct network), I installed all (I think) / server and usb drivers via apt. when I try to add a printer using the system's built-in #print settings-localhost# program, it displays the following message: cups "server-error-internal-error", while when searching for a network printer, the program asks for the workgroup password, which I do not know because I have never used such a group I didn't assume. I am a beginner user of the system and I cannot solve this problem myself. so I'm asking on this forum: what else can I do? Is there another configuration program?

wojciech,

Welcome to LQ forums.

Go Epson Download Center and type the product name, XP-2205.

http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/se...search/?OSC=LX

Then download these two Linux drivers:

Epson Printer Utility for Linux:
epson-printer-utility_1.1.3-1_amd64.deb

Epson Scan 2:
epsonscan2-bundle-6.7.63.0.x86_64.deb.tar.gz

Open a Terminal and install lsb and gdebi:

Code:

sudo apt install lsb gdebi

Right click on the printer driver .deb and select "Open with gdebi" and then install it.

My downloaded files go to Desktop (if you use Downloads or elsewhere, then change the following command accordingly).

Install scanner driver with the following commands entered separately:

Code:

cd Desktop
tar xvzf epsonscan2-bundle-6.7.63.0.x86_64.deb.tar.gz
cd  epsonscan2-bundle-6.7.63.0.x86_64.deb
sudo ./install.sh
