For the avoidance of doubt: I'll assume that Sophie is genuine - maybe a teenager, certainly someone whose first language is German. I'm going to assume good faith, despite some evidence to the contrary.** >From looking on Epson's website: 1. They do not support this printer under Linux officially. 2. The printer is listed as a printer supported only under Windows - lots of variants. 3. It is listed as a GDI compatible printer - this is indicative of a printer that requires a specific Windows driver to compose the page. 4. It is compatible with older Epson printing protocols called Esc/P and Esc/P-R. 5. Epson do have a filter program available to make this printer work as an Esc/P printer under Linux using CUPS to manage the printer. 6. If CUPS setup is possible - you will need to read documents to be able to set up CUPS.
