From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've never used that printer or Cachy OS. That being said, I don't think installing HP printer software will help with an Epson printer.
Epson do have printer drivers for linux and you can look up your specific printer download here https://download-center.epson.com/search/
I've been to that site too, and yes, I do also find the appropriate packages with it, but problem is it's either RPM or DEB. Can I get the ESC/P-R driver on arch somehow? Preferably, I'd like to use Pacman, but as a desperate last resort, I'll also use the AUR.
There's two AUR packages with Epson ESC/P-R drivers, epson-inkjet-printer-escpr and epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2, each one has a different range of models. I use #2 for my ET-3830.
Most distros include a tool to convert or install packages from other formats. I'd look into that. I've never used Arch so unfortunately I can't be more specific.
