    Good evening, Sophie

    Many printers can be supported in Debian: one way or another we should be able to help you.

    Since we cannot be with you to see exactly what you are doing: could you please answer some questions for the list to help us to help you?

    Just to check: Exactly which version of Debian are you using?

    You can find this in the file /etc/debian_version

    Which desktop environment are you running?

    GNOME or KDE or one of the others?

    Many desktop environments have Settings or something similar gathering together tools to set up screens, sound and printers.

    Thank you for your help in helping us :)

    With best wishes

    Andy Cater
    or something similar which gathers together tools to set up sound, screens and so on.

    The EPSON ET M 1120 doesn't exist. Do we have to guess its
    correct name as well as any other relevant information?

    When I searched for

    Epson ET M 1120

    I got a suggestion that I may have meant "M1120" instead of the
    last two search terms, and hits for the "Epson EcoTank ET M1120"
    and/or "Epson EcoTank M1120", which look to be different names for
    the same model and to be a fairly clear match.

    While, yes, specifying the exact name clearly would be preferable,
    this is far from unreasonably difficult to figure out.

    I decided to take your signature as a template for my original
    response :).

    I can respect that!

    I haven't a clue what you are going on about here. Shift-L in
    mutt was used at this end.

    Your replies to the OP have been fine, AFAIK. The OP's message was
    itself a reply, as can be seen by looking at its headers
    (In-Reply-To: and References:), but was otherwise presented as if
    it had been the start of a new thread; that is not fine, because it
    hides the "new thread" inside of the existing one, at least for
    anyone using a threaded view of the list of messages.

    That's an issue for the OP, not me.

    Certainly. I was meaning that bullet-point item as an addendum to the
    list you provided (which I understand to have been aimed at the OP), not
    as something directed at you.
