Hi guys, I have the same problem than John and Miles over different Epson Wifi Scanners or combis (printer + scanner). After searching a lot, many other Linux Distributions have the same problem in their latest versions with the scanner drivers well installed and the conection to the equipment working. Using the program what you want, the scanner starts (you can see the process on the scanner screen) to do his work and then all fails.
The most worrisome situation is that anyone of this forums don't give any solution and it looks like a big problem. To nornmal users and institutional or educational ines, this type of problems are very important to select a good OS, and it's crazy that in 2019 we have problems to work propperly with a modern scan in Linux, no to mention that many manufacturers like Epson still do not give direct support...
