Re: Epson inkjet printer drivers orphaned

Hello all,

I upgraded to Fedora 42 Beta and it seems the Epson drivers were
removed from the repos.

I wanted to clarify whether the expected course of action for Epson
users is to try the Gutenprint drivers or get the drivers directly
from Epson [0].
It seems that there is also the printer queue approach [1] that was
mentioned, although I haven't yet figure how to make it work for my
printer (I will have to read the Docs page a bit more carefully).

I assume that aside from the fact that the maintainer dropped the
packages for not using Epson printers in long time, there is also the
fact that the "classic" drivers support from CUPS will be dropped in
the near future...

Thanks for your patience,
Mateus Rodrigues Costa
