Printer only after restart detected

[bench]

Hallo my printer is only detected, when starting the printer before the computer or when restarting the computer after printer switched on. I already had this problem with MX-21. I hoped the update to MX-23 would fix this, but did not. Any work around?

Oh I had this as well on 21, haven't tried on 23 yet. I have gotten in the habit of just starting the printer (HP) before the computer, always.

@bench Welcome in!

What model of printer and what connection type?

[gimcrack]

My works just fine. Samsung Xpress M2070FW USB connection.

Try looking at logs for debugging and troubleshooter guide.

@bench Welcome in!

What model of printer and what connection type?

It's identified in the attachment as an Epson ET 2850. It's their latest Eco tank model and it is advertised as being wireless. Assuming he is using a wireless connection, I think that he should turn the printer on and leave it on 24/7 (if he can). The constant wireless polling by the printer should be enough for it to be discovered at boot.

Thanks! I totally missed that! ( I am going to HAVE to have more coffee before I post anything ;-/ )

Yes, I would agree with that if he is using it as wireless. I have not seen any issues with the Eco Tank's, once the printer is added to cups. (But I also *always* set them up on a static ip too! )

Hallo, long term MX-user (2019), finally registered in the forum.

I am using Epson ET 2850 with USB connection. Is there a script to reload anything, I don't need to restart the whole system?

@bench I don't think you meant to mark this thread as solved, did you?


Unmarked the thread.

Hi, your attachment shows that you are trying to use the 'generic' epson ESC driver.

This is, afaik, and as i experienced today with my 'Epson WF-7220' device, no longer supported in MX23/BOOKWORM by cups v2.4.2.

My recommendation: try to use 'ipp/ipps' printing with the default-provided 'driverless' or 'IPP Everywhere' driver ...
