Epson XP 605 printer driver for ubuntu

does anyone know where I can download a printer driver for an Epson XP 605 all in one printer/copier/scanner

I've recently bought a Epson Expression Premium XP-600, which is the same as the XP-605 except it's black instead of white.

After you've connected your printer to your WiFi network simply go to system settings - Printing, Add Printer, expand Network printer and there you'll find your discovered printer.

The 'proprietary' driver is automatically downloaded and you just have to activate it.

Now printing works and you can use Simple Scan to scan your documents.

So far so good, but Simple Scan is very limited and applications like xsane won't find your scanner.

For more advanced scanning you want to use Image Scan! for Linux provided by Epson which you can find at the already mentioned URL.

You'll need to download iscan-data_1.22.0-1_all.deb and the appropriate iscan_2.29.1-5~usb0.1.*.deb package (pick .ltdl7 for ubuntu 8.10 or higher).

Since the XP-600/605 is WiFi-only you'll also need a network plugin package which isn't offered at the XP-600's download page so you have to 'borrow' this from another model, for example the PX720WD's. Here you can download iscan-network-nt_1.1.0-2_*.deb.

Go to your download folder and doubleclick on the iscan-data package to install it through the Software Centre. After this you install the iscan package and the iscan-network-nt package.

Finally, you have to edit the /etc/sane.d/epkowa.conf file. To do this open terminal and type:

sudo gedit /etc/sane.d/epkowa.conf

Browse down through the file and look for the "#net 10.0.0.1" line, remove the # and change the 10.0.0.1 to the actual ip-address of your printer.

You can now use Image Scan! for Linux and as a bonus other scanner applications like xsane will now work with your scanner too.
