I also have this problem, but not with all Epson scanners. My combination Artisan 837 printer/scanner works fine. But my Epson Perfection V600 won't work. And after following the directions here I ended up with 2 drivers for my Epson Artisan 837. But the Epson V600 is still not working.
The V600 is used for high-res scans of prints and negatives/transparencies. It naturally works on my old Windows computer, which I want to get rid of. The reason for this V600 scanner is that it can scan at over 12,000 dpi. It has a 2nd IR lens built-in for restoring old images. In the past, I have been able to get this scanner to work on my Linux system. But that was in the past, and may have been before I upgraded to the current Ubuntu Linux version... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1728012 Title: Many 3rd party scanner drivers are broken by a sane change To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sane-backends/+bug/1728012/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
