Hello
I just bought a new Epson printer, model WF-2850DWF. It's a printer/scanner product.
On the Epson website support, this model doesn't look to have linux drivers: "there is no driver for this device for Linux."
Do I have only my eyes for crying, or is there somewhere a magic driver which could drive my printer???
Thank you

3. Log in to router and look for printer in devices and copy IP address of printer.
5. Go to Control panel and add a printer.
6. Enter Epson WF-2850 (192.168.1.199) for Verizon router and click on FORWARD
