so I am having this problem since morning about printing a document in Ubuntu. (Ubuntu 18.04)

This is my first time printing a document in Ubuntu. I have tried using Okular, LibreOffice, Microsoft Word (wine). When I try to print, it is actually printing something but just random numbers and symbols.

I also tried printing it online but still the same. There is no problem with the printer actually because all of my workmates are able to print their documents (windows 10) except mine which happens to be Ubuntu.

Please help.

Printer: EPSON L405 Series

  • What printer do you have and have you installed it correctly in Ubuntu. Please edit your question with further details.

I have an Epson L4150, but I was facing the same problem.

I connected the printer and the Ubuntu installed the drivers automatically. Didn't work. Installed the drivers manually. Didn't worked.

Then, I deleted the printer, and added one manually:

  1. Access printer configs.
  2. Delete the existing one.
  3. Click on Add, or Add new.
  4. Select the same Epson option.

Other option is to add the printer using CUPS. For doing that, access localhost:631 using Mozilla (Chrome didn't work for me). Then, click Administration menu → Printers → Add printer.
