Public bug reported:
The gutenprint website says that they still support the earlier "Epson
Stylus Photo" models, but the Ubuntu printer settings tool only shows
drivers for the R240 and up. Is this a regression, or purposeful? See
http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/p_Supported_Printers.php
The gutenprint site shows this sub-list of similarly supported drivers,
including the R220:
Epson Stylus Photo R200 escp2-r200
Epson Stylus Photo R210 escp2-r210
Epson Stylus Photo R220 escp2-r220
Epson Stylus Photo R230 escp2-r230
What you expected to happen?
I expected the Ubuntu printer settings utility to offer the "Epson
Stylus Photo R220" printer driver.
What happened instead?
The Ubuntu printer settings utility only offered the series R240 and
above.

Note: Manually, I was able to successfully install openprinting-
gutenprint_5.2.7-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb from the OpenPrinting site (which
includes R220) but it would be better to find the R220 driver in the
list of available print drivers through the automated Ubuntu printer
settings utility.
See https://www.openprinting.org/printer/Epson/Epson-Stylus_Photo_R220
for the Debian package(s).
