- | However, sometimes I could not find exactly what I wanted. I bought a new printer and could not install it without first downloading drivers from Epson and installing them with Gdebi, something a novice may not be able to do; the Gnome printer installer could not find the drivers itself. Then the printer would not use the optional duplex unit, and would not select the photo tray when required.

I only once needed tech support and received a fix within 24 hours. | + | However, sometimes I could not find exactly what I wanted.

Both of these programs cost money, but it is such a small amount, less than the cost of a mouse! I have no commercial interest in them, but mention them because I admire their professionalism. They do exactly what they promise without fuss or failure, and they are supported. They have licenses but no crippleware, | Both of these programs cost money, but it is such a small amount, less than the cost of a mouse!
