How to use the "Epson L100" USB Printer on Linux !?

I believe you would need to find a suitable driver to work with the cups extension.

and that looks difficult. Your printer is not on the list of driverless printers https://istopwg.github.io/printers/
so you have 2 main choices.
1) search turboprint for linux L100....will take you to a paid web address...30 days to try before buy,
I have no idea how good it is

2) Download gutenprint and I am not sure if you are on 32 or 64 bit
as per Juanito cups info, set up cups daemon and create a session root password

Open your web browser to http://localhost:631/admin

Now here is where it gets tricky. You can try the driver from gutenprint Epson for the L120
it may work or it may not.....

do not try a full test print....just create a small text file and see if it prints.....and if it prints then try a small colour image

3) If it fails....then change manufacturer to generic
Most modern printers understand the PCL so I suggest you avoid LF hits as I believe that means line feed
and thats for uni computers where the whole of paper is fed into the printer
I suggest try Generic PCL 5c if that fails then 5 and then 4 and then
at the bottom of the page are Generic PDF printer and Generic Postscript

In above options you will be First clicking the button to add printer (not find printer)
then clicking continue after making selections and at some point a popup will appear and you input
root and the root password

Good luck
