  • while installation failed to find out driver when searching for drivers. In 18.04 only generic printer added, and printer working without printing

  • Download a driver from Epson site and install it. And what "installation" was searching for drivers?

  • If installation fails, run sudo apt install -f to install dependencies.

  1. Follow this link, in the search box type "L3150" and in the dropdown menu choose "Linux".

  2. Press "Download" next to "ESC/P-R Driver (generic driver)".

  3. Press "Accept" and then download the driver file named epson-inkjet-printer-escpr_XXXX-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb (even if your processor is not AMD) where instead of XXXX will be the current version number.

  4. Install using GDebi:
    First just try to open the file, which will open GDebi's gui, and click install. If that doesn't work, open a terminal, browse to appropriate folder, and run sudo gdebi epson-inkjet-printer-escpr_XXXX-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb (don't forget to replace XXXX with version number).
    Or using APT: sudo apt install ./epson-inkjet-printer-escpr_XXXX-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb

  5. Go to Printers, press Add, let it find your printer (note whether it is connected directly via USB or via the network) and proceed in the obvious way to set the printer.

  • Fantastic, just followed those steps and printed successfully first time, thank you. @Santhosh-v you should mark this as accepted, it's tested and working.

  • And will that work in both scanning and printing ? I will install for Epson EcoTank M3170 on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
