Epson ET-2750 upgrade?
When I upgrade from Ubuntu 18.04LTS to Ubuntu 20.04LTS will my Epson ET-2750 printer setup from 18.04 upgrade to 20.04?
I could not install the Epson printer on 20.04 standalone. The only difficulty I could see was 20.04 would not accept USB as a connection; 18.04 did accept a USB connection.
This is a possible issue with ippusbxd. Ubuntu 20.04LTS introduces ippusbxd as a default installed package to promote auto-detection and auto-installation (using cups-browsed) of a USB-connected device.
Unfortunately, its usefulness and reliability has become very questionable. So much so that it has been replaced by the much better ipp-usb on Ubuntu 21.04. Whether or not it is the problem in your case, you are advised:
- Switch off the device.
- Remove
ippusbxdfrom the system.
Should auto-detection and auto-installatio still be an attractive proposition, the advice here applies.
