Remember that Epson printers/all-in-one devices can also use Avasys¹
drivers (and there is still one more option, Turboprint², but you need to
buy a licence for it and has a reduced support for printers brand and
models).
Maybe Avasys drivers gives you a better print quality, but cannot confirm
this point because I've never used that drivers before.
