I installed Artful Aardvark an everything works just fine, even the scanner.
In connected the Printer via WI-Fi, used the reccomended drivers, and the test Page came out and everything looked fine.
But when i wanted to print out something else a) the printer gave the "printing" status for a brief time, then doing nothing, or it printed pages full of data rubbish.
has anybody a clue of whats going on?
thanks

Please edit your original question above and add more details of the problem. What program are you using to print? Are you trying to print a web page, a document, a picture, or a movie? Can you print plain text files fromgedit?

The driver that Epson would recommend for this printer; came out on 2nd April 2018.
Get it from here http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/du/02/DriverDownloadInfo.do?LG2=EN&CN2=&DSCMI=71623&DSCCHK=e1fdb812f3b09b3da605fd49ef90a9e43b62db49
Assuming one has 64bit Ubuntu, get epson-inkjet-printer-escpr_1.6.20-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb
as a deb package, select OPEN when you begin the download; and gdebi installer should do the install. If one SAVES it to the Downloads folder, then locate it there and double-click to do the install;
best before doing this to go to the PRINTERS folder; delete any WF-2630 icon (as you say it is not working)
