Epson has done a move of the driver hosting from Avasys to their own
servers, perhaps this happened between the 1.0.0 and 1.0.1 vertsions of
your driver, leading to automatic update not working on this transition
and the 1.0.1 not being available at Avasys.

system-config-printer is currently the only printer setup tool with a
client for printer driver auto-download from OpenPrinting. I have tested
the auto-download and it actually downloads the 1.0.1 version from
Epson's servers. If you do not want to install system-config-printer
(which can pull in a larger amount of dependencies) you can easily
manually download all auto-downloadable drivers via the OpenPrinting web
site:

http://www.openprinting.org/
http://www.openprinting.org/drivers/
http://www.openprinting.org/driver/epson-201115w/

Click on the link for the DEB package for your system's architecture
(32-bit or 64-bit) and the Software Center will pop up allowing you to
download and install the driver via an "Install" button. An old version
of this driver will be replaced by the installation and old print queues
will get appropriately updated for the use of the new driver.

If you set up a print queue with any printer setup tool now, the new
driver will get used for the queue.
