I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 16.04 x64 from 14.04 with a clean install. I used epson-printer-utility on 14.04 with no problems. Now, when I try to launch it, I get the following message:

Communication daemon down, Error code = -1

I created a .desktop file and granted permissions according to this link:

How to get "Epson Printer Utility" to start from Launcher in Ubuntu?

I had no problems in 14.04 with this program. Also, everything is working fine with my printer in 16.04 wrt printing. I am not sure to what communications deamon the message is referring. How can I resolve this issue?

After installing the Epson Printer Utility, and using the instructions found at How to get "Epson Printer Utility" to start from Launcher in Ubuntu? to create a .desktop file, you just have to reboot the computer to get rid of the communication daemon error.
