supergamer, i went into the menu - System - Printers and added the Generic-ESC-P-Dot-Matrix and it says connected to localhost.

Its an inkjet printer, not dot matrix so I think that driver will not work.

Epson claim to provide linux drivers for some printers,

See if yours is listed. :)
1) Lenovo T520 i5 LL3.8 8GB ram, fast & stable
2) Medion P4 32bit LL3.8 1GB ram, quite fast & stable
3) eeePC 901 32bit LL3.8 1GB ram, fast & stable
4) eeePC 701 32bit LL3.8 1GB ram, slower & stable but small and light enough to travel with me to New Zealand when visiting family in Blenheim.

You have to install the printer drivers supplied by Epson. Go to the Epson download centre and search for XP-245 Linux driver. They aren't mega hard to install but they aren't straightforward either, read the docs carefully.
I have the XP-830 Premium, and it works great in Linux with the Epson drivers, mine is connected by wireless network so I can print and scan from anywhere in the house.

I have to ask this. Did you try to set it up from the printers program that is in the menu?

Hello, today i went and bought a new Epson XP-245 printer and have connected it to the computer via a USB cable but can`t print anything. The copy works perfectly, just not print and scan.

Any help would be grateful.
