What is the right URL?
Do I use i386 or amd?

We do use Xubuntu 22.10 64 bit.

It’s better to install the driver with apt. That way it will automatically install any dependencies that might be missing:
Bash:
sudo apt install /path/to/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr_1.7.25-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb

Note: Where /path/to is the path to the directory containing the driver you downloaded.
E.g. if you downloaded it to your Downloads directory, the path would be
Bash:
~/Downloads/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr_1.7.25-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb
Alternatively, if you cd into the directory containing the driver, you can use a relative path: ./epson-inkjet-printer-escpr_1.7.25-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb as the path.

Either way, install the package with apt. If you install with dpkg and the package has any external dependencies that aren’t installed, the package will fail to install and you’ll have to install any extra dependencies before trying to install the package again.

So whenever installing packages, whether locally stored ones that you’ve downloaded, or remote ones that are in your distros default repositories, apt should always be preferred over dpkg because apt can tesolve any missing dependency chains. apt uses dpkg under the hood. But it’s pretty rare that you will need to use dpkg. Usually only if apt was interrupted/stopped mid-operation. E.g. if you’re installing updates, or new packages and you have a power cut, or your laptops battery dies, or the system somehow crashes. (kernel panic, or lockup/freeze due to problems/bugs with hardware, or device card drivers.)

In those rare cases, after you reboot your pc, you might need to use dpkg to try to finish installing/configuring packages that didn’t completely install if apt throws errors when you try to use it again.
Other than that, apt should be preferred over dpkg.

I had no luck trying to install mine using the apt tool, in the end I downloaded lbs3.2 deb from the net and the Epson print drivers & scan drivers from the Epson, download site, then I installed Sane and sane -utls from the repository, next I opend the downloaded lib file and installed it from the download file, and finally again from the download file I installed the print drivers and the scanner drivers, when i connected the printer and switched it on it took a little while before it was recognised
 
Why not use GDebi to install your driver? open GDebi then click File then Open now navigate to the deb file and open it
 
Thank You.
I did only understand a little bit.

I should not use dpkd?
I should use GDebi?

How can I use it?

Thank You.

I am confused because:
apt-get install software
and
install software
did produce other messages.

Shall I use

apt install software?

it's not dpkd it is dpkg and you can use that to install packages also.
Gdebi is a GUI package installer and works well you just right click on the downloaded file and select gedbi from the right click menu then follow the instructions there.
 
to install the deb package there is basically two ways - use a deb package installer such as GDebi or use the command line
if you do not have GDebi installed run
Code:
sudo apt install gdebi
then open GDebi then click File then Open now navigate to the deb file and open it
or
open a terminal where your deb file is located then run
Code:
 sudo dpkg -i epson-inkjet-printer-escpr_1.7.25-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb
 
Good afternoon

Thank You for help.

I could install gdebi.

I did install the deb file.

Then I tried to print:
It did not work,
printer in chaos
the only readable message was

"If you can read this, you are using the wrong driver for your printer."

What did I do wrong?

Regards
