New question #295818 on Simple Scan: https://answers.launchpad.net/simple-scan/+question/295818
I have my Epson stylus DX8400 printer connected to my system as a network printer. USB connected to my fritzbox router. Printing works fine but scan reports no scanner detected. Tried Epson website for driver but nothing listed for linux. If I connect the printer direct to PC via USB both print and scan work okay but I need the network setup so other pc on network can use it . austin@austin-Z97X-Gaming-3:~$ uname -a Linux austin-Z97X-Gaming-3 4.4.0-28-generic #47-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jun 24 10:09:13 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux austin@austin-Z97X-Gaming-3:~$ lsb_release -crid Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Release: 16.04 Codename: xenial austin@austin-Z97X-Gaming-3:~$ lsusb Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:8001 Intel Corp.
