    Cool epson printer wont work

    When I installed Ubuntu my epson printer which was installed for Windows stopped working properly. Do I need new drivers and can I get them from a Linux site as I don`t really want to go back to windows.

    What's the exact model of the printer? Can you post the output of lsusb (assuming it's a usb printer)?

    stopped working properly
    What do you mean by that? Does the printer respond but do stuff unexpected?

    The OpenPrinting Database claims your printer should likely work with the R200/300 driver.

    Edit: Sorry, I started replying an hour ago, then my daughter asked for help with her homework.
