 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
