Solution:-
After that I check the printers.conf file in linux print server to find out root cause. In /etc/cups/printers.conf AuthInfoRequired pointing negotiate.
cat printers.conf|grep AuthInfoRequired
#AuthInfoRequired negotiate
We need to remove AuthInfoRequired negotiate from /etc/cups/printers.conf and stop and start or simply restart cups service as below
#vi /etc/cups/printers.conf
# service cups restart
Stopping cups:                                             [  OK  ]
Starting cups:                                             [  OK  ]
Verify whether cups running.
# service cups status
cupsd (pid  11320) is running…
Again check it in printers.conf file, If it will show in /etc/cups/printers.conf remove them accordingly .
# cat printers.conf|grep negociate

  2. If you need to add Epson xp 235 wifi setup to a wireless network then in that case on the printer machine press the home button further press the arrow on the printer then as you see the wi- fi set up option press the OK button. If in case you are still in need of more information or help then ask for it from the experts.
