I don't know about this... |

Should probably install |

Think CUPS installation should be done in a separate script that this script calls? Since I'd imagine most printer drivers for Linux would need CUPS as a dependency. |
… as well as standalone script for other printer drivers to be added in the future.
Yeah would be a good idea to have |

Type of Change
Description
Came to mind to add this when I was struggling to get my Epson printer working earlier today on my new computer. Turns out I forgot to install the Epson printer drivers in the AUR. I did a search and the same package is in the Debian and Fedora repos so I added support for those, but I'm not really able to test them myself as I only use EndeavourOS. I can comment those out in the shell script if needed.
Testing
Ran the script and verified it installed (or reinstalled in my case) the correct drivers and saw them show up in CUPS when I brought up the CUPS web interface.
Impact
Printer driver installation on Linux (and on Windows for that matter) is a real pain to get right sometimes, I'm hoping this will help people out who use Epson printers.

Additional Information
As I mentioned in description, I only really tested this on an Arch-based distro. May need some help testing this on a Debian- or Fedora-based distro.
