After my "old" printer failed due to senility his services, an EPSON SX-105, I decided to buy back an EPSON - the XP-225th
Size and equipment meet my predecessor, with the XP-225 also has WiFi (which I do not use), which is probably useful for many users. The printer itself is compact, consisting of ink-jet printer and an integrated scanner part. The functions are for personal use more than adequate, the device comes with built-in power supply and power cord, so no separate power supply that is lying around in the area. For me, a plus. Unfortunately there was, or is generally not supplied, the USB printer cable; But since I still had the old printer, I had to take only the cable. The driver installation (in Windows 8.1) without any problems. CD into the drive, drivers are detected and installed, additionally, you can install the supplied software for photo editing with what I need.
After a few updates to the printer program and restarting Windows 8.1 printer scanner ran u. Properly.
No complaints on my part.
Since I use privately almost Linux only (Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS x64), the driver installation was complicated here. One can find on the side of the Ubuntu Forums some very good installation aids
[...]
The description there should be read in peace and in order to perform a correct driver installation. It is important that one keeps after downloading the mentioned there drivers for Linux in order of installation that are made through the Ubuntu Software Center, after downloading.
From the ESPON website you can download the respective driver for Linux (as described in the forum)

After installing these drivers, absolutely still install the pressure as such under Linux / Ubuntu, which is then detected and configured properly. Then reboot the system and everything is going well.
The ink level indicator on Linux / Ubuntu is working properly (in Windows 8.1 as well).
This description was written by me, because I am convinced of this article and purchase via Amazon, the device and have tried me the purchase did not disappoint. The XP-225 I would buy again, may also recommend the purchase for people who do not have professional printing, but for a cheap and good printer for home use.
