Epson XP432 - all pages are blank
by Grobe from LinuxQuestions.org on (#52CSX)
Hi.
Fedora 31 user here. I've connected an Epson XP432 printer/scanner to the USB port. The OS does detect the scanner, and the print dialog seems to work.
Except from one thing - when the paper get out of the printer, there is no ink. Maybe - just maybe some few patches of ink at the very edge of the paper, but that may just be ink leftover.
This is what I've tested so far:

This is what I've tested so far:
- Connected the printer to a windows computer and was able to confirm that the printer indeed is fully functional.
- Installed the official Epson driver (epson-inkjet-printer-escpr-1.7.7-1lsb3.2.x86_64.rpm). Still only blank pages.
- Most recent version of Linux Lite permanently installed on a USB thumb drive. Also from this distro, all papers from the printer are blanks.
- Tried to print from several different programs (Libre Office, Gimp, Inkscape, Xed, and more). Same result.
