I was able to get mine working by setting it up as a network printer via windows and then just accessing it like that through Linux. But yeah, if I ever change wifi ssids I would need to factory reset it go back into windows and configure it again. (ET2400)
Edit to be clear the windows instance is only needed for setup, it can be shut down or removed entirely after setup
I also had a windows server for that for a little bit, but dumped it in the end. Realistically only my wife is using it, and she is still stuck with windows on her Thinkpad
BS, I have gotten HP printers to work on Linux with no problems.
My Epson inkjet is a paperweight without w*ndows

If I were already using Linux when I bought a printer like that, it would be returned immediately lmao
Lol I would have too, but unfortunately I had owned it for probably 5 years before I switched to linux
Epson seems to supply Linux drivers according to their website and some Linux users when I searched around
Yeah, there’s some drivers but I never could get it quite work.
They work better on Linux ,more prints than on windows ,same Cartwright. Installing was plug play (Office jet 6950)
