[ELECTRON] Epson driver for Ubuntu.

[JOHN COUZIN]

Hi Martin,
                thanks for the response, I'm no techno-geek, but I have tried all the suggestions to the best of my ability, but get a bit confused by the terminology. Nothing seems to work, it always gets to the same stage of "installing" "authorise" and then back to "installing" and then freezes. It is not the  computer that freezes, just the dialogue. I have been mucking around this for a couple of months now and gettinmg nowhere.    John.

I click "add printer" and it finds it, comes up with the appropriate drive, when I click "install" it gets half way and then freezes. I have unistalled Ubuntu and reinstalled, with the same result. I have tried downloading the driver from other sources with the same result. I thought Ubuntu automatically recognised Epson printers?  The printer worked with Ubuntu 12, but I was having other problems and changed to 14.04. Hope somebody in Electron can solve my problem.    John.

Have you tried the work around suggested in the second comment on your
askubuntu question?
