    I got the Epson L8180 (the same model has another name in the US), since I’m an artist and want larger prints. It even prints from the rear, since I do my sketches on an ipad, and then I print my sketches on thick, 300 gsm watercolor paper. It does scanning and printing and copying, and all works on Linux. Gimp supports its advanced printing dialog with the appimage, but not flatpak version (the problem is with the flatpak architecture, not gimp or the driver). Conversely, the xsane app supports the scanner fine, but xsane is itself not very stable. I use the epsonscan2 flatpak version (which works better than the .deb file under ubuntu-based distros). Overall, very happy with printing with gimp3 with more advanced options.
