if you go to the PRINTERS folder; look for the icon for the 235; right-click on it; select PROPERTIES: look in the MAKE & MODEL line; drag the window to the right to see all the text; please copy what is there; and paste it back here please; we are talking about an XP-235 from Epson? which version of ubuntu are you using please; I reckon for 64bit Ubuntu, one would best have epson-inkjet-printer-escpr_1.6.19-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb installed; it was issued 12th March 2018 by Epson

I suggest going to the PRINTERS folder; delete the icon for 235 that is there; (it is not working);
for the Epson XP-235, Epson supply drivers; install those.
go here http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/?OSC=LX and type in the model number (XP-235?) and for 64bit Ubuntu, click to download epson-inkjet-printer-escpr_1.6.19-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb
Ubuntu may well offer to "open" the package: if so, accept; as that should mean gdebi installer will install the package as it is downloaded; that should install the needed drivers;
instead, if you just SAVE the package as it is downloaded, then go to where it was downloaded to; (the Downloads folder?) and right-click on the package; select install with gdebi installer; things should work after that

As Epson has several models (Picturemate, StylusSX, StylusTX, and XP series) that utilize the 235 descriptor in the model name, this question would be much improved if you would be so kind as to edit in the exact model name. If you do so and drop me a comment you'll earn an upvote from me (and likely others with the same model and problem as you.)
