Since you can print on Linux, you have a proper driver. This is important because CUPS also supports “raw” queues where it does not actually know how to create printer data itself but relies on client-side drivers to do that. Because CUPS knows how to print, you can just feed it PostScript data. Windows ships with various suitable drivers. They need not be related to your printer in any way.

- Step 4: Install the printer driver. Run:
- Step 5: Remove the trusty repos from sources.list
- Open a terminal and type the following command:

- Step 6: Add your printer by going into Printers > Add.
NOTE: You may have to manually select the driver from a list.
Here's the proof on how this worked out:
The following instructions will allow you to add software from wily that is not available in xenial. You will also receive any software updates and security patches. By configuring apt-preferences, the system will always favor xenial and will only install from wily when absolutely necessary.
Before you get started, make a backup of your sources.list file:
PART ONE:
First, run the following commands to append lines to your
/etc/apt/sources.list
file:PART TWO:
Next, create an apt-preferences file:
Now, copy and paste the following into the file:
Press CTRL + o and then press ENTER to save the file. Press CTRL + x to exit nano.
PART THREE:
Run the following commands to install dependencies:
PART FOUR:
Go to the Epson website, search for your specific model and set the operating system to Linux.
Click on each of the download links, accept the user agreement, and then download the amd64.deb or the i386.deb file.
Use
gdebi
to install the deb files in a terminal. example:
If you download the iscan .deb.tar.gz file, right click on the file in nautilus and select 'extract here'. Open the newly extracted archive and locate the
install.sh
file. Use sudo
to run the install.sh
file in a terminal. mchidmchid
There are printer driver and printer driver utility you should search for your model on the Epson website.
For instance for my model l310.
I just installed them and it worked.
