Hello, everyone! I'm helping my mom debloat her laptop and there is just a ridiculous amount of epson software.

  • Epson connect printer setup
  • epson event manager
  • epson photo+
  • epson power engage
  • epson printer connection checker
  • epson scan 2
  • epson scan pdf Extensions
  • epson scan smart
  • epson software updater
  • epsonNet print

how many of these can i delete and still have a functional printer? or better yet, is there a libre solution to using all of this junk in one app? thanks comrades

Not sure about Epson, But I use Brother, and there are no apps. It works perfectly fine with the standard, built-in drivers in both windows and Linux. As for network printing, I just hooked it up to a raspberry pi running CUPS, and it worked pretty much out of the box.
