  • I had put off for a long time switching distro’s because of issues I had historically (like 10 years ago) with printers, setting up cups, jumping through hoops.

    However, was forced into it recently after my volume of 3rd party repo’s killed my Mint upgrade so switched to Kubuntu. Was honestly dreading the printer side of things.

    Went to epson site (I have a cheap xp247 wireless multifunction). grabbed the printer driver, the scanner stuff (all .deb files), installed them

    entered the ip of my printer, BOOM… wireless scanning and printing just like that. Boy, things have really improved since last time i tried to set one up
