I am considering buying an EcoTank Epson printer (f.x. ET-4550). However it would not be smart to use the money just to find out later that it does not work in Ubuntu. Therefore, I hope there is somebody who has tried EcoTank printer line (ET-4550, ET-2500, e.t.c.) in Ubuntu 16. I would like to hear about your experience:

  1. Does the printer work through the local network (ethernet or wifi), not USB?

  2. Does the printer offer a web-interface from which scanning is possible from the browser, through the local network, so that the scanned pdf (or image) can be downloaded to the local PC? If not, does the the scanning work and how (not via USB)?

(knowing that finding hardware compatible with linux is not an easy task I hope that providing specific model names in such messages will help others too)

Thank you
