Is the ET-2800 Linux compatible? null

Great question. I have no problems with printing using Ubuntu Mate, but have not been able to use the scanner. I had a similar problem with my old Epson WF-3640, but that machine allowed a user the option of saving scans to a local USB/CF card. Ubuntu would then recognize the drive and I could used the scanned file. The ET-2800 has no ports for this work around. If you are just printing, it will work fine. If you need the scanner function, you'll likely be disappointed. It is possible other distros will work fine with the scanner function, but I haven't invested the time to see if that is true. Somehow, I doubt it.
