Epson ET-2750 upgrade?

When I upgrade from Ubuntu 18.04LTS to Ubuntu 20.04LTS will my Epson ET-2750 printer setup from 18.04 upgrade to 20.04?

I could not install the Epson printer on 20.04 standalone. The only difficulty I could see was 20.04 would not accept USB as a connection; 18.04 did accept a USB connection.

This is a possible issue with ippusbxd. Ubuntu 20.04LTS introduces ippusbxd as a default installed package to promote auto-detection and auto-installation (using cups-browsed) of a USB-connected device.

Unfortunately, its usefulness and reliability has become very questionable. So much so that it has been replaced by the much better ipp-usb on Ubuntu 21.04. Whether or not it is the problem in your case, you are advised:

  • Switch off the device.
  • Remove ippusbxd from the system.

Should auto-detection and auto-installatio still be an attractive proposition, the advice here applies.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
