I can confirm that the fix works. Well done. I have used Ubuntu for many years and have installed it for family and friends. I initially recommended HP printers because HPLIP worked so well. 5 years ago we downsized and I wanted to archive a lot of stuff and HP did not have a suitable machine for duplex scanning and printing. The Epson machine is excellent but installing the drivers was always a bit of a pain. 17.04 was a revelation and I immediately stopped using 16.04. I suppose you can now use most printers but my sister (in USA) has a Cannon - that was a real pain.
Many thanks for your hard work.
