    I was able to get mine working by setting it up as a network printer via windows and then just accessing it like that through Linux. But yeah, if I ever change wifi ssids I would need to factory reset it go back into windows and configure it again. (ET2400)

    Edit to be clear the windows instance is only needed for setup, it can be shut down or removed entirely after setup

      If I were already using Linux when I bought a printer like that, it would be returned immediately lmao

      I also had a windows server for that for a little bit, but dumped it in the end. Realistically only my wife is using it, and she is still stuck with windows on her Thinkpad
