Printer setup in Linux (Mint, etc)

Connect the printer to your computer with a USB cable.

Make sure the computer and printer are both switched on.

Go to Start menu > System > Printers if it hasn't opened automatically.

Now click Add printer and look for the make and model.

Linux Mint's stock software "store" has the Epson driver easily available. Search "epson" and the driver should come up as one of, if not the first option.

Click Install. Type in the superuser password it asks for (depending on how your account is set up, this may be your own password or an admin's password).

When the printer driver is installed, go back to the printer setup.

Now when you add your printer, XP-220 will appear in the long list of Epson models. Select that and the computer will now connect to the printer easily.

You can print a test page to make sure the printer is working.
