The printer-driver-escpr package also works for my Epson Stylus SX425W
printer.


However, I must say that installing the driver for this printer in 16.04 was 
not user-friendly at all.

The "wizard" for adding and installing the printer didn't present this package 
as a possible driver to install.
The only options were epson-nx420 (which fails to silently install due to the 
missing lsb package), and another one which didn't seem to include the driver I 
needed (I may be wrong).

Also, this package has a LOT LESS "Printer Options" than the epson-nx420
driver.

I had to install this package manually.
I only found it because of this bug report (and Google).

These drivers need to be easier to install, and the "wizard" needs to be more 
robust.
(The guys at the Epson repository should probably also do something about the 
"lsb" dependency, since this probably also affects Debian.)
