Hello:
Is my first time using Fedora and I would like to use it full time, but I NEED to print documents at work, it was impossible for me to print that is showed in the screen. The problem is that print strange things, like codes, too much letters and numbers, but not the document that is showed in the screen.
Is it using the correct driver? Open a web browser, go to https://localhost:631/printers and check if it’s using the “Epson Inkjet Printer Driver (ESC/P-R) for Linux.” If it’s not, install the package epson-inkjet-printer-escpr and reinstall your printer.
The Epson L3250 supports Epson ESC/P-R and ESC/P Raster formats, but your image shows a Postscript document printed as text using HP’s Linux Imaging and Printing software (HPLIP) driver with ghostscript.
Are you using WiFi to connect to the printer?
Please tell us how you configured printing in Fedora 40. Did you install any of the 3 epson-inkjet-printer-escpr packages (in a terminal, run dnf info epson-inkjet-printer-escpr\*)?
Epson doesn’t support Linux. As mentioned by @vrkvdd, Fedora has open source epson-inkjet-printer-escpr for “older models”. The description mentions a list of supported models at http://avasys.jp/english/linux_e/ but that link appears to be dead. “Newer” printers use epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2 mentioned as far back as 1991, but please see dnf info epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2 for details.
Please post pre-formatted text as text using copy and paste with the </> button from the row at the top of the text entry window. Images are not searchable and can be difficult to read on a laptop screen.
Please look at man cups. This has an overview of the printing workflow with links to the CUPS administration page on your system and support sites that may have users familiar with your printer. The page also mentions that support for legacy printers is moving to ippeveprinter (from the cups-printerapp package).
CUPS printer drivers, backends, and PPD files are deprecated and will no longer be supported in a future feature release of CUPS. Printers that do not support IPP can be supported using applications such as ippeveprinter(1).
