That is the driver that EPSON directed me to.  I went through their 
link[s] to the place where there was a set of drivers for various Epson 
printers.

I know it works fine for duplexing except for LO printing.

Also Epson stated that there was no drivers to get the scanner part working.

I know that the driver that 12.04 installed for the Artisan 810 was a 
different driver [set], since the scanner part of the printer would not 
work at all with any driver I can find that works with 10.04, but works 
fine with the  driver 12.04 installed when installing the printer to 
that laptop.

12.04 went and found a new driver for the networked printer 
automatically.  10.04 requires you to manually download and install the 
driver software beforehand.

Still, when Every package that can print seems to use the Ubuntu printer 
menu system and duplex works.  Yet, LO using its own printer menu system 
does not.  Then logic states that there is something wrong with LO's 
access to the printer, not the printer driver itself.

I am not the only one who has problems with duplexing within LO.  It 
seems that only certain models of printers do not work while other do.  
I only have two printers that duplex.  The Epson Artisan 810 does not, 
while the HP Laserjet 2300dn works within LO.

This has been an issue for well over a year.  I got my first duplexing 
printer over a year ago and people were having duplex issues before that.
