In 20.04 it scans fine, but in print mode the process banners show the job is sent to the printer, then printing is complete. However there is no print output. I reinstalled the Epson print drivers but without success. I'm staying on 20.04, but by running Ubuntu 19.10 from a USB drive the printing issue is solved. The Epson is recognised and my documents print and scan fine.
