Epson Stylus TX121 Multifunction printer is a 3 in 1 device that is capable of scanning images, printing documents and photocopying. I bought this in the market last January of 2011. It's plug and play device prints text and graphics very well in Ubuntu 10.10 desktop. Although the printed output of this printer looks great, it is not fully supported because the scanning feature does not function. In Ubuntu 10.10 there's no driver that matches this model. The OS recommended other driver when you install the device. The recommended package works well for printing only but for scanning does not because the scanning software cannot recognize the source device. After goggling the internet to find out if there's already a driver ready for download. Yes there is and you can download from AVASYS website. Look for the following files from this website and download them.
- iscan-data_1.8.1-1_all.deb
- iscan_2.26.3-1.ltdl7_i386.deb
- epson-inkjet-printer-n10-nx127_1.0.0-1lsb3.2_i386.deb
Dependencies first
iscan-data_1.8.1-1_all.deb
iscan_2.26.3-1.ltdl7_i386.deb
Core package next
epson-inkjet-printer-n10-nx127_1.0.0-1lsb3.2_i386.deb
This device driver also supports other printer models such as Epson ME 320/330, Epson Stylus NX125/NX127/SX125/TX120/TX123/TX125/TX129
When done TX121 is ready to rock and roll.

Hi, thanks for showing the scanning packages. I have one question. The text printing is quite slow as compared to the windows 7 performance. What do you feel about it?
Nothing is perfect in this world. If you are comfortable with the system you are using be it. At least I've done something that are useful to anybody who faced the same problem as mine. We are here to provide solutions to the problems regardless of which is better in performance. Both Windows and Linux are plagued with so many problems you and I could contribute ideas to help those in need. There are areas that Windows 7 is good and there are also areas that Linux is good. It's a matter of users preference.
