2. DriversThere are drivers for the NX10 and also the L100 available on the Epson site. My experience was from moving from PCLinuxOS to Linux Mint 16. 3. PC Linux OSPC Linux OS was happy to use the NX10 driver files. The web based localhost:631 was used to add the printer. 4. Linux Mint 16Linux mint first gave errors related to missing directories. Then after complete removal of cups and reinstalling that was fixed. 5. Linux Mint 16Next came the ppd file. They were located in /opt and due to that the error was filter failed. So I tried the NX100 driver which is available in the basic deb files which are included. It worked so I do not need to use other drivers. 6. Filling Ink Levels If the ink levels are low and need the windows based utilities to replenish the inks using a code available from a long list which is readily available on the net. I am using Windows 7. The virtual box in Linux mint needs to be run from root (sudo bash) to be able to access the USB devices. 7. Virtualbox for Linux Mint 16 Also the virtual box for linux mint 16 needs to be uninstalled along with the virtual box base libraries. Then the virtual box from oracle's site needs to be installed. Also the extensions pack needs to be added after running virtual box and going through settings. 8. Virtualbox for Linux Mint 16The Epson L100 printer needs to be added in the USB devices before turning on the Windows 7 machine. Maybe you can attach it after running the Win 7 machine also. 9.
