Comment 15 for bug 576705

Till, thanks for your help, but running the instruction in message #7 did not make the Epson S20 work, and I do not understand what to do after downloading the first package that you list in your message #13 . I have installed the alien package that you recommend, but cannot complete the sudo alien etc command . Working with the terminal is still a bit of a mystery to me, I can copy and paste commands and when they work it is great, and when they do not I am lost. Can you offer any more detailed guidance please.
Many thanks
Tony Morton
