I've followed the steps from this tutorial and this question to install Epson L575 printer's drivers on Ubuntu 16.10.

Then I looked for the printer in the network and it was found, with an address similar to dnssd://EPSON%20L575%20Series._ipp._tcp.local/?uuid=af92100-67c4-11d4-a45f-44d24402454f. Yet, if I send a job to it, it is declared as disconnected!

I tried to add it as an IPP printer, using its IP address, as in ipp://192.168.0.33. In this case, the printer is found but nothing is printed and the job stays as "Pending."

Epson Printer Utility can print a page through its "Jet Verification" option.

The output of tail -f /var/log/cups/access_log has not much of interest, except maybe by this line:

localhost - - [18/Jan/2017:19:51:16 -0300] "POST /admin/ HTTP/1.1" 200 219 Pause-Printer client-error-not-found

In /var/log/cups/error_log, I find this:

E [18/Jan/2017:19:36:35 -0300] [Job 21] Print job was not accepted.

Not only the printer is pingable, I can access its web interface via browser.

How can I make this printer work?

I don't know why the autodiscovery fails but I got it to work with the IPP URI. I just to add /ipp/printer after the IP. So, the address that was

ipp://192.168.0.33

changed to

ipp://192.168.0.33/ipp/printer

Here is a screenshot from where I change it:

  • in my case I needed /ipp/print instead
