Hi all
This topic branched out of another subject namely how to find out if a
certain package was installed in Ubuntu

I need to install some drivers for an Epson XP 6000 and it depends on Linux

It's always a bad idea to install proprietary drivers from manufacturers.
IMO, that should only be done if there aren't any open source drivers and
you've already bought the hardware - if you haven't bought it yet, look for an
alternative with open source drivers.
anyway:
http://www.openprinting.org/driver/epson-escpr
That lists support for several other Epson XP models, but doesn't explicitly
mention "XP 6000" and the Stylus CX6000. Dunno if it supports an XP 6000.
Worth checking out, anyway.
There are .deb packages for both 32-bit and 64-bit available there for
download.

After I installed the lsb, my printer was loaded and configured automatically
in my desktop computer.
I did not install the lsb in my laptop Ubuntu 16.04 last week, but I did load
the Epson drivers without issue.
And when I printed one of my images in tiff (75Mb) on a 10"x 8" high quality
inkjet paper I obtained a gorgeous output, no sign of banding, skin tone was perfect.
The Epson output from my desktop Ubuntu 18.04 was awful, clour was wrong gamma was wrong
and it suffered from banding. I have to get some sleep now but tomorrow I shall print
the same tiff from my laptop, and then I will know if the problem is the Linux driver.
