Hi! If anyone can help me kindly do so. I have a Epson L210 printer, that prints and scans ok in Window 7. My problem is when I tried and installed Linux Lite 3.2. I am quite a familiar with Linux lite, Lubuntu, AntiX and some other Linux distros but I must say I am not an expert --more like a user I should say. Anyway, I installed the linux (debian) drivers (inkjet driver and iscan bundle driver for scanner) of the aforementioned printer I got from Epson. The printer driver works great, I can print. Problem is the scanner. Surfing the net I found an advice and did sane-find-scanner:
$ sane-find-scanner
(and this is the result):
# sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the
# result is different from what you expected, first make sure your
# scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.
# No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that
# you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.

# Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by

# Not checking for parallel port scanners.
# Most Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports
# can't be detected by this program.
# You may want to run this program as root to find all devices. Once you
# found the scanner devices, be sure to adjust access permissions as
# necessary.
I connected this printer/scanner on two desktops, one running Linux Lite 3.2 and the other Lubuntu 16.04 (LTS) and the scanner drivers did not work on both machines.
I have already downloaded the latest driver iscan-bundle-1.0.2.x86.deb.tar.gz (32bit) which has:
1. core (iscan.2.30.2-2_i386.deb)
2. data (iscan-data_1.37.0-3_all.deb)
3. plugin (iscan-network-nt_1.1.1-1_i386.deb)
And yes I already read the links (http://askubuntu.com/questions/783227/ho...ubtu-16-04 and http://askubuntu.com/questions/724323/ho...10-scanner) and have followed the instructions on how to install (./install.sh in terminal) but the scanner still didn't do anything when I opened ImageScan for Linux.
Like I said earlier, I am not an expert on Linux so I am quite confused what is that I did wrong. Anyone who wants to help me I'd be grateful.
