In my case, I had luck with the 'Gutenprint' drivers on Ubuntu 20.04: sudo apt-get install printer-driver-gutenprint If your printer still isn't working, you can try installing some of the generic 'printer driver' packages. It's not unheard-of for certain devices to only work in some of the USB ports on your computer. Both the printer and the USB port itself will use different versions of the USB protocol. ![]() It's possible that the issue is only with one of the connection methods but not the others.Īnother thing that's easy to forget about, is that not all USB ports are created equally. Now What?įirst of all, try connecting to the printer via every different connection method that is supports: USB, Ethernet, Wireless etc. For example, my printer is an Epson P900, but when I install it through the Gutenprint drivers I can see that the PPD file it installs is just one for the P800.
