I've been using Mint 17.1 for years; I just installed 19 on a new computer and I can't get my Epson XP-400 printer to work.
There is no generic driver listed, and when I try to download one from Epson the download window opens for about 2 seconds and then crashes.
Apparently I need "epson-201203w" but I can't figure out how to get it.
(the printer worked fine on 17.1... you would think that a newer version would have more functionality, not less!)
Thanks -JRV

Assuming that you are using a 64 bit system, the printer driver you need is called
Type XP-400 as the product name and click on the magnifying glass to reveal the available drivers. Double click on the downloaded .deb file to install. The scanner driver is presented in a bundled form which also contains instructions on how to install this bundle.
epson-inkjet-printer-escpr_1.6.33-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb and you can download it and any others you need from this site: http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/searc ... ch/?OSC=LXType XP-400 as the product name and click on the magnifying glass to reveal the available drivers.
