I have struggled with this problem for quite some time but cannot get Xubuntu 16.04 LTS to work with this device (Epson WF-2540 All-In-One).

Xubuntu is loaded on a Dell 1525n laptop (2008 vintage) that has worked with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 15.10 in the recent past but have had no joy with 16.04.

Attempting to let the system find the correct printer driver has thus far not installed the correct driver which, according to Epson, is 201211w.

I am perplexed. I have never encountered this problem in the past with Ubuntu. I could regress and install Ubuntu 16.04 but was hoping to get to work with Xfce.

  • Did you install lsb? Xfce has nothing to do with printer drivers.

  • I did not install lsb and after reviewing the lsb Wikipedia, it appears that it does not apply to Xubuntu 16.04. However, I could be missing something. Jun 27, 2016 at 19:32
  • I have no problems with lsb on 16.04.

Kubuntu, Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, etc are ALL the same Ubuntu-core. If it works on one, it should work on any of them.

Alternatively, you can download specific drivers for your 'all-in-one' from Epson webpage. Download the deb files for your platform (x86, x64, etc) and install by opening them with (Gnome) Software.
