Guess it is some kind of delayed reaction! I mean I rebooted a couple times and I installed those drivers at about 3pm is now 4:30pm and now is registering and working! I also found a couple utilities on Ubuntu Software Center for checking ink levels and another small utility in Synaptic! Figured being a wireless unit might be nice in case the ole lady's printer runs out of ink!!! As have said am not a big printer and scanner person. Still though will need it as have to get some resumes up! Is job hunting time as am graduated and ready to work!!! To clarify though, those were the exact drivers I downloaded from Epson. I installed them, rebooted tried and nothing. Some reason this time took a while to register, which is strange considering how fast everything else worked and works!!! I guess is just a weak point in this system. Who knows, maybe I caused it!!!! Am happy will not have to drive back there to exchange this Printer!!! Is a 17mile trip and that is only one way!!! From what I see of the printing looks much nicer than the Lexmark I had!!!! Well, least if this is something that may happen to someone else here, they will know it might take a few boots and to ensure they also use the utility on USC to show the ink levels as it also helps with some other processes. I guess these printers are pretty sophisticated these days!!! Just as everything else moves forward, they do too!!! Thanks very much for responding quickly, Micro!!! There are just some aspects with all this that I only have very slim knowledge on!!! Printers/Scanners have always been an Achilles heel to me!!! This Epson least kind of goes with the Monitor!!! Both are black! Just hope I get more time out of the ink than that Lexmark! To me though seems is more ink since is 4 individual cartridges unlike the Lexmark's one! Price wise on the cartridges is not a far leap above the Lexmark. Others were higher, is why I chose this one plus the wifi!!! Anyway thanks a bunch am off to get some yard work done! Always lots here with 2 acres!!!
