Hi everyone, I’m new to Linux operating systems, and also to EndeavourOS. I’m having a problem finding and installing the right drivers for my multifunction printer, an EPSON ET-2850. At best it remains inactive.
I have already configured wi-fi on the printer, but I was unable to install the driver that manages it via wi-fi.
Could you give me a hand, possibly step by step, especially if I need to use command lines from the terminal? A thousand thanks.
PS: obviously I’m looking for help because I’m a novice when it comes to the whole Linux environment and I would end up making a mess, doing it alone. This is why I ask for your help, and the patience to follow up on the problem by explaining even the most obvious things, which are not new to me. A thousand thanks.
Meanwhile my configuration is this:
