** Description changed:
My Epson WF-2670 Network printer is having issues printing correctly on
Ubuntu. It prints differently depending on what protocol i use, and what
configuration i use. The only configuration that gets it right, is the
Driverless IPP printing on Ubuntu 18.04. However using the same
Driverless Printing option in Ubuntu 18.10 dose not work properly. When
printing the text runs off the side of the page. The printer supports
PPD, LDP, IPP, and DNS printing. There is no specific driver for this
printer in the repos. There is an official driver on the Epson Website
for this printer however it's unmaintained and out of date. As a result
it doesn't work. Instead When choosing a setup option in Ubuntu (or any
other distro) it automatically selects the generic epson-escpr inkjet
Driver. This driver will print. But again, it prints incorrectly with
the text going off the side of the page. The driverless IPP printing in
Ubuntu 18.04 gets it right. But in 18.10 the same exact configuration
prints incorrectly. All other protocols i mentioned all print the same
on both versions of Ubuntu, all of which are equally incorrect.
Driverless IPP printing in 18.04 is the only one that dose it correctly.
This problem locks me to 18.04. Which isn't an immediate problem, But
probably will be in the long term. I've included a picture of some test
prints. Both are from Ubuntu 18.10. The one on the left is using the
epson-escpr Driver using the LDP/passthru option. And the one on the
right is using the Default Driverless Printing. You can see the text
going off the side of the page on both, and off the bottom of the page
on the one on the right. Whatever configuration/package version is being
used in Ubuntu 18.04 for Driverless Printing works properly. But in
- 18.10 it dose Not. Nor do any of the other configuration Options.
+ 18.10 it dose Not. Nor do any of the other configuration Options. I can
+ manually change the page margins in the settings, But this only changes
+ where the Black border is on those test prints, The text itself stills
+ runs outside of the margins. Trying to print an Office document or PDF
+ yields similar results.
