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. You may be able to use this third-party software:

Hope that helps, Andrew Thanks Andrew, When I got some time to sit down I discovered the ndiswrapper, was not a strange musician but a way to get network drivers working. I actually have a version of Vuescan, but my computer is 64 bit and my Grandson's is a Toshiba 32 bit laptop. I can't remember what it cost, but it was pretty flash. I tend to use Xsane these days to drive my Epson SCSI scanner.
ten minutes later, I checked Vuescan and was eligible for an update, and I discovered that I can use it on four devices within my family under the terms of the licence, so I downloaded the 32 bit version for my Grandson, and will check it out on the weekend. Andrew Greig
