I have installed a bunch of DEB files from Epson's website:
epson-inkjet-printer-201109w_1.0.0-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb

epson-pc-fax_1.0.0-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb
epson-printer-utility_1.1.1-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb
alas, to no avail.
I am using the Firefox (91.0.2 64-bit) web-browser, clicking on a "print" icon on a webpage.
