Please open a terminal windows (e.g. by simultaneously pressing ctrl-alt-t) and issue the following commands

uname -a
lsb_relaese -a
lsusb

Then use the terminal window's menu entry "edit - select all" and "edit - copy", and paste everything into this Launchpad question document.

please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases

Ubuntu 11.10 is not supported any more. End of life date was in May 2013. I recommend you upgrade to a supported Ubuntu version or install a supported version from scratch.

The link that you gave is already correct. From there you have to navigate to "Drivers & Support"
Then select "Linux" for the pull-down besides "Choose your operating system for drivers?"
Then Click on "Drivers & Software"
Click on the "Download" button besides "Printer Driver"
Accept the license agreement (2 times)
Download the file epson-inkjet-printer-201207w_1.0.0-1lsb3.2_i386.deb

Re-open your link
From there you have to navigate to "Drivers & Support"
Then select "Linux" for the pull-down besides "Choose your operating system for drivers?"
Then Click on "Drivers & Software"
Click on the "Download" button besides "Scanner Driver"
Accept the license agreement (2 times)
Download the files iscan_2.30.0-1~usb0.1.ltdl7_i386.deb and iscan-data_1.33.0-1_all.deb

Finally install the three packages in the sequence epson-inkjet* iscan-data* iscan*

The printer driver requires that the lsb package is installed, but that is missing on your system. And due to the fact that Ubuntu 11.10 is no more supported, you will not find it in the Ubuntu repositories any more.

I can only recommend that you upgrade to a supported Ubuntu release.

There is no repository that you can add for installation of that printer.
