Unable to print

I have been trying to get my Epson ET-2650 wireless printer connected and working for a few hours now. I have been unable to figure out what the issue is. Any help would be appreciated, I am adding the CUPS logs for reference.

welcome,
Many Epson printers use a very old software dependency called, lsb which is no long in the distributions, it can be downloaded from
https://pkgs.org/download/lsb
for Parrot choose Ubuntu

Not saying it will definitely cure your problems, but it did on my new printer.

3

cant install the package…

Error:
Dependency is not satisfiable:
lsb-core (>=
11.1.0ubuntu4)

I was not ready for linux and I dont have a usb with windows media to go back to windows…iv made a mistake LMAO…FML…im either gonna make it through this or i dunno.

The device was too old so so does the package. I don’t think it’s able to install it without repacking.
For the daily usage but with office stuff, I’d recommend using Windows since hardware vendor prefer supporting Windows. Overall, it’s better to choose the workable system.
