Mine is the same model, although I use epson-inkjet-printer-escpr
instead of epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2. When I searched for the
difference apparently the original is fully open source whereas the
second one has some proprietary components (which Fedora replaces with
the equivalent open components from the original).
I do remember that when I tried to print from the printer without
installing the driver first, it selected a random HP printer driver
(likely from Gutenprint or some other place with generic drivers) and
it printed just the command sent to the printer.

IMHO, even if the driver is dropped from the repos (unlikely to
happen), Epson has the driver on their website in both deb and rpm
formats, it will just be a slightly worse experience
But I got no info on whether it supports CUPS IPP =/.
