    Can't find Epson CX3700 drivers

    I've just installed Kubuntu Dapper. I'm trying to install an Epson Stylus CX3700, but in the Add Printer Wizard - when it comes to Printer Model Selection - the Stylus CX3700 is not listed (only Stylus CX-3100, Stylus CX-3200 and the next one in the list is Stylus CX-5100)
    I've updated all my packages to the latest version, and in searching for help I see posts from back in March from people who have this model working "out of the box", which I take to mean they went through the wizard and found an exact match for the model in the add printer wizard - so why can't I find the driver for it?
    Am I just retarded?
    Little help?

    Am I just retarded?
    Yes, yes I am - I wasn't running the wizard as root! 
    So I t it working (not using the recommended driver though, as it gave an error regarding permissions and I wanted the printer up and running quickly - I used the first driver listed - CUPS + Gutenprint)

      Glad you've got it working. Always the first resort for printing problems in Linux should be http://linuxprinting.org/ Searching for your printer indicates that Gutenprint is the right thing to use.
