I have an esp5250 that was working fine in 12.04. After I upgraded, it stopped working. It looks OK. I looked at network printer troubleshooting and ran all the cmds there - looks fine (to me).

I think there is a new driver for 14.04 - but am not sure how to check that. The old driver was c2esp16. If I try to print from command line it looks like it completes - but just sits in the queue.
Lots of tips I read say go to System/Administration/Print Settings - or similar (Gui). I have no app there with anyting that mentions printer - Am I missing something?
Under system settings there is a Gui for Printers. If I open that it shows the queue etc. Looks OK. If I click on printer trouble shooting, its says Server Not Exporting Printers. It says - Enable the "Publish shared printers connected to the system" option using the printing administration tool. in the System->Administration print settings from the main menu... and again - I don't have or see that anywhere. When I go forward - get the staus message "Render competed". Again - looking OK.
I don't know where to go from here???
Also - have been searching for cmd line commands to see what driver is being used etc...
I found
sudo ubuntu-drivers list
and
sudo ubuntu-drivers devices
When I run these cmds - they do "something" for a while and then just end. No output... no man pages... ???
I could really use some help and direction...
O yes - I can ping, traceroute nmap the printer and the route looks good. The printer is wireless also but it is connected to my router.
Thanks
