I just purchased an Epson WF-2860 Multifunction printer, and I am struggling to get it to work.
The Printer is connected into the network, and it can be found using the printer settings, including IP Address.
A number of the printers appear and when choosing the options one by one, the error message “Failed to add new printer”.
I had called Epson, and the Technical support person freaked out…
Thank you for providing the support.
The CUPS option worked a treat.
There is a scanning option, however, it is saying to install the Epson Event Manager software, which I believe is not available for Linux. Is there a way that scanning directly to your computer can be done?
What is “it”? Where is this message coming from?
Have you tried to install imagescan? It is available in the (community) repositories. Install via pamac GUI or in terminal:
