Hi Andrew.

I have an Epson XP-610 MFP and had no problems getting it to work with the Epson-supplied Linux drivers, but I did find that I had to search for them on one of the international Epson websites as the Australian Epson website claimed there were no Linux drivers available for the XP-610.

If you use the Epson UK website and search for XP-432 Linux downloads, you will get to this URL eventually:

http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/searchModule

If you enter XP-432 as the product and Linux as the operating system, you should get three download options:

1. Generic printer driver

2. Printer utility

3. Scanner driver

I've found Epson's Linux support to be good, even if it can be hard if you are relying on the local website for driver support!
