But it seems like nothing else included with the system can print.
xreader and xed for example, try to print then a little bubble in the

However, LibreOffice Writer (which, I understand, does its own printer
magic) has no trouble printing.
I googled around and found some similar issues, all many years old.
Those solutions did not help me. I tried getting the print driver
directly from Epson. That also didn't help. At this point, I don't
really know how to proceed with troubleshooting.

Hi Alan,
I have an Epson ET-3700 Continuous Flow inkjet printer as a network
printer which I was using under F29 with the epson driver installed
through cups without any issues. From memory I think I had to download
the Epson network interface package before CUPS would see the printer as
a network printer. I am now using F30 in a VM and under that CUPS cannot
see the printer in its network printer list, but I can still install the
Epson driver (which is necessary as CUPS does not have any native
drivers for the printer that I can see) and I can print to the printer
from Acrobat Reader which I have installed from Adobe. The issue I have
with the printer is its print quality, at the moment, is hopeless, but
I'm not sure at the moment whether its a F30, or a VM issue because I
don't have the printer dedicated to the VM, I am accessing the printer
via the Windows 10 network connection to the printer.
regards,
Steve
