Drivers for the Epson XP-245 are available from the Epson Download Centre:

http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/searc ... ch/?OSC=LX

Select the "deb" file matching your architecture. Install the downloaded deb file with a double click. The needed bundle file for the scanner contains installation instructions.

I was unable to find a driver file for the Stylus C66 on the Epson site (that printer is very old) but you can get a driver from here:

http://www.openprinting.org/printer/Eps ... Stylus_C66

Before you download drivers, connect the printers and see if they work after entering them in System Settings, Hardware, Printers. You may already have the needed drivers in the kernel.
