Solved

Hello,

I formatted and installed Ubuntu on my laptop thanks to a friend.

The problem is that I can't find the software to install my printer: EPSON Xp-225 on the internet.

I am new to Linux, which doesn't make things easier :/

Thank you in advance for your help.

Configuration: Linux / Firefox 45.0

      I found my problem!
      I was stupidly typing xp 225 and that’s why no driver was being suggested, whereas by simply typing 225, I found what I needed.
      I then installed the correct driver, then I went to "Printer" to look for a printer and it installed the Epson driver for me.
      In any case, I can print, I’m saved!
      Thanks for the help!

        You had to type XP-225 and not xp 225.

      Attention, under Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Epson drivers do not work!

      You need to follow these steps:

      Installing Epson XP 225 printer
      (this applies to all Epson printers)

      Uninstall the old drivers that did not work.

      Turn off the Epson printer

      Then install the epson-escpr package

      Install the epson-escpr package on Ubuntu 16.04
      easily with these 2 command lines in a terminal
      right-click on an empty part of the desktop and click
      Open a terminal here, then type or copy-paste the 2
      following lines (press enter after each line; after the
      first line, you will need to enter your password):

      sudo apt-get update
      sudo apt-get install printer-driver-escpr

      Turn on the printer and wait for the success message of
      the printer's automatic installation to appear at the top
      right (printer icon).

      To uninstall the package in case of problems:
      sudo apt-get remove printer-driver-escpr --purge


      Install the Scanner driver

      You need to go to this page and download the file:

      http://support.epson.net/linux/en/iscan_c.php?version=1.0.0

      Choose the distribution [ deb ] and the architecture 32 bit or 64 bit

      32bit (i386) or 64bit(amd64)

      Click on the Download button and download to a folder
      the file corresponding to your system:
      iscan-bundle-1.0.0.x64.deb.tar.gz
      or
      iscan-bundle-1.0.0.x86.deb.tar.gz

      (Under Xubuntu)
      In the folder where the downloaded file is located:
      right-click on an empty part of
      the folder
      then click in the dropdown menu on
      Open a terminal here
      then type in this terminal
      for the 64 bit version:
      tar xaf iscan-bundle-1.0.0.x64.deb.tar.gz
      for the 32 bit version:
      tar xaf iscan-bundle-1.0.0.x86.deb.tar.gz

      This will unzip the downloaded file

      then indicate the location of the decompressed folder:
      for the 64 bit version:
      cd iscan-bundle-1.0.0.x64.deb

      for the 32 bit version:
      cd iscan-bundle-1.0.0.x86.deb

      Still in the same terminal, start the installation
      with this line:
      ./install.sh

      You will need to enter the administrator password.



      Once the installation is complete, go to the Graphics menu and click
      Image Scan For Linux
      or
      Simple Scan

        Escputil

        A small software that is very easy to install (available in the Ubuntu and Debian repositories) that will inform you of your cartridge levels.
        It is used only in a console (Terminal).

        Keyboard shortcut to launch the Ubuntu console
        CTRL + Alt + T

        To install escputil, type the following two lines in the console one after the other,
        or copy and paste the line and then execute each command by pressing the 'Enter' key on the keyboard.
        On the first execution, you will be asked to enter your password. 

        sudo apt-get update

        sudo apt-get install escputil


        In case of issues when uninstalling escputil, type and execute in the console
        (or copy and paste): 

        sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove escputil


        + press the 'Enter' key on the keyboard to start the uninstallation

        ===========================================================

        To know the remaining ink level for an Epson with Ubuntu or Debian

        launch the Ubuntu console
        CTRL + Alt + T

        If your printer uses the USB port, type (or copy and paste) the following command and then execute it by pressing the 'Enter' key on the keyboard.
        You will be asked to enter your password. 

        sudo escputil -i -r /dev/usb/lp0


        If your printer uses the parallel port, type (or copy and paste) the following command and then execute it by pressing the 'Enter' key on the keyboard.
        You will be asked to enter your password. 

        sudo escputil -i -r /dev/lp0




        Normally, this should display something like:
