If not already purchased, then DON´T buy this crappy Epson B-300 / B-308 / B-310 / B-500 / B-508 / B-510 printer. The printer are very short-lived. After about 1-2 years and ~10,000 pages unusable, paper jam, ink leaking, complete damage... The same problems occurred by FOUR! Business Inkjet printers. I have expected a little bit more from a "business printer" in the € 500 price range. Shame on you Epson!

Automatic installation script
<?php
$URL="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/panticz/installit/master/hardware/install.epson-business-inkjet.sh";

echo "wget $URL -O - | bash -";
echo "<div><pre>";
</pre></div>

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $URL);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
htmlspecialchars($result);

echo "";

?>
