I'm running ubuntu 16.04 and want to connect Epson L360 printer to the laptop. The printer is shown in the devices and printer list. When clicked on print test page all I get is a string of M's 2 and a // on the left side of the page. Any help in fixing this issue would be much appreciated.

the driver for the L360 can be downloaded from here; http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/du/02/DriverDownloadInfo.do?LG2=EN&CN2=&DSCMI=34541&DSCCHK=141ba614c212ead0099d27f8dc8f2bc35faf7781

if you have 64bit Ubuntu, you need epson-inkjet-printer-201401w_1.0.0-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb

As you click to download, your system may offer to "open" the package, this should mean gdebi installer will install the package; thus install the drivers; if you save to your Downloads folder instead, you can install from there.

Best delete any existing L360 icon in your PRINTERS folder before installing the above; rationale being delete what you say is not working

Download link keeps on changing. Here is how to get the latest:

  1. Perform a search for your product here (i.e. L360), choose OS to filter search: https://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/
  2. Find the download labeled Printer Driver. Installing Printer Utility is not required.
  3. Install the driver.
    GUI: double click on the downloaded deb file
    CLI: sudo apt install epson-inkjet-printer-{whateverversion}_amd64.deb
  4. Reinstall the printer in Settings. Go to Settings > Printers, remove the installed one and Add Printer...

You should see something like this, note that the driver was provided proprietary by Seiko Epson: Installed Epson L360 printer

This was tested on Ubuntu 24.04.

PS: If you want the scanner functionality also, follow this guide.
