I certainly do not know it from own experience, but I have a hard time that they release an OS for PC that lacks such a basic, fundamental ability.

And especially Epsons should usually come with native Linux support. I certainly installed my Epson ET-2750 with drivers by Epson.


The Steamdeck seems to cause troubles for printers, yes, internet says so.
Yes, Steam Deck (which is still a PC. You can install windows on it if you so desire).

I wasn't aware of an official "PC" specific release. The only ones I've seen used are installations of the Steam Deck OS, and were marketed as "use at your own risk".

I've been playing around a bit more today, can detect and add the printer via CUPS on the web browser.

It's even selectable in Libre Office.......... but prints gibberish.
Will take a bit more fiddling, but there is light at the end of the tunnel.
