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

Hello,
The drivers are here:

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

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:

Escputil version 5.0.0, Copyright (C) 2000-2006 Robert Krawitz
