My family bought an Epson WF-3820 printer. This is how to set it up over the network with Linux.
Setting the IP[edit | edit source]
Go to your router page and find whatever IP the Epson scanner has taken under DHCP.
Go to https://THE_IP/ (replace THE_IP with the IP) and set up administrator credentials
Go to the network page and set a static IP, at least for IPv4.
In the end you should have an IP like 192.168.28.5
.
Remember that when using IPv6 you have to surround the IP (not the port) in brackets.
Printing[edit | edit source]
Install CUPS somehow on your system.
Go to http://localhost:631/ and add a printer using the Administration tab.
Set the type to 'Internet Printing Protocol (https)' with the location as https://THE_IP:631/ipp/print .
Set the make and model to Generic IPP Everywhere Printer.
Done!
Scanning[edit | edit source]
Install SANE and sane-airscan, we'll be using AirScan or AirPrint.
Under the [devices] section in /etc/sane.d/airscan.conf, add the printer like this:
"Epson" = https://MY_IP/eSCL
Done!
Wi-Fi disconnection[edit | edit source]
One time the printer just stopped responding over Wi-Fi. Rebooting fixed it.
