Hi,


An Epson L5190 is listed in About AirPrint - Apple Support as a printer supporting the driverless AirPrint technology. An AirPrint-enabled model is compatible with macOS, and does not require the installation of drivers if a printer and a computer are connected (by Ethernet or wirelessly) to the same network (Wi-Fi router).

Software from the printer manufacturer may or may not add functionality. For a USB connection, check whether the operating system suggests a suitable driver (after resetting the printing system). If not, look for software, for example, at https://www.epson.eu/support?productID=22937&os=38#drivers . As indicated by K Shaffer, drivers offered may differ from region to region.

A question to Epson may help, if their site pages lapse..

Should be recent updates for driver software there.
