That file is for the printer and I guess you got it from OpenPrinting but
you need the Epson packages to get all functions of the AIO running.
(hint: Epson provides two ".deb" packages directly from their site)

detected from the Epson AIO?

Okay, it would be interesting to know if using an ethernet cable the AIO

Okay. For the rest of the functions I guess you will have to make use of
the Epson provided set of tools.
