Two desktop computers, both connected to the same wifi. Desktop 1 is windows 7. An Epson L210 is connected to this machine via cable.
Desktop 2 is Lubuntu 16.04.1. This machine can print with the Epson L210 (which is connected to Desktop 1 via cable). I suppose this is possible thru the installed smbclient, correct? Desktop 1 needs to be running, obviously. Desktop 2, in addition to having this installed: epson-inkjet-printer-201207w_1.0.0-1lsb3.2_i386.deb also has "iscan" installed. Although Lubuntu already comes with "Simple Scan". As stated above, network printing is possible. But I get this error when running "Simple Scan": "No scanners detected. Please check your scanner is connected and powered on" ....and this error when I run "iscan" "Could not send command to scanner. Check the scanner's status." Please note that network printing is only possible because I had to manually type in: smb://192.168.1.105/EPSON%20L210%20Series in the "Windows Printer via SAMBA" (which you can find when you click the +Add button in Printers app. I believe that is not the best way to do it? I'm not sure, but I think it used to be that I click "Find Network Printer" and type the ip address of the computer to which the Epson printer is connected (Desktop 1 / windows 7 machine), then it would be able to detect the printer and I would continue from there. I wonder if that has anything to do with the network scanning problem. In other words, network printing is possible only because of a workaround; the root of the problem seems unsolved, and so the network scanning problem is to be expected. Am I wrong? Please also note that the following files are installed. cups sane smbclient samba cifs-utils Thanks for your time
