Installing Printer Driver in Fedora for Epson ET-3750

Just some information in case I need to reinstall the drivers sometime in the future.

The following is in my log:

I found some information at [1].

[root@mrbear Downloads]# dnf install lsb

Lsb is required, or it starts complaining when trying to install the rpm packages.

rpm -i epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2-1.1.25-1lsb3.2.x86_64.rpm
rpm -i epson-printer-utility-1.1.1-1lsb3.2.x86_64.rpm

Via LPADMIN

# lpadmin -p [PRINTER_NAME] -v [DEVICE_URI] -P [PPD_FILE] -E
# lpadmin -p et3750 -v "usb://EPSON/ET-3750%20Series?serial=583445553036353185&interface=1" -P /opt/epson-stuff-this-and-that-en.ppd.gz -E

Via Webbrowser

This works if you have attached the printer via USB cable.

You can access CUPS via a webbrowser at http://localhost:631.

As administrator ask for "Add printer".

The list shows EPSON ET-3750 Series (EPSON ET-3750 Series).
