epson scanner v600 not working [duplicate]

Solution 1:

'Just found the solution !

I had used gdebi to install the three packages (iscan core, data and plugin). But, it is necessary to install EACH package one after the other as described here : http://download.ebz.epson.net/faq/linux/faq_ls_00002.html

Solution 2:

I just got my Epson v600 scanner working on Ubuntu 18.04 by doing the following.

1. Download and install the drivers from http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/searchModule

2. create these linked files

sudo ln -sfr /usr/lib/sane/libsane-epkowa* /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane

3. Create a file called /etc/udev/rules.d/79-udev-epson.rules with this content:

ATTRS{manufacturer}=="EPSON", DRIVERS=="usb", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="04b8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="*", MODE="0777"

4. Power cycle the scanner.

If I didn't do step 3, I had to use sudo to run iscan. After including step 3 I could use the icon to launch iscan or launch it from the command line without sudo. I also tested the scanner with the XSane Image program and that works too.
