Ndis wrapper

I had no idea this would be necessary, but this morning I purchased an Epson MFP, an XP 432. I made this choice because I expected that Epson, which started strong with Linux would still be doing so. But .... no drivers. I searched the CD for a PPD. No luck! So in the back of my mind I heard a quiet memory echo, ndis wrapper. Is that still a viable process? And is it complex? How would I get it to work with the scanner? Gratefully and hopefully Andrew Greig
