Hi ,
here is the page that you will find your Epson drivers : http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/?OSC=LX

Just fill in Product Name the numbers and letters of your model (without the Epson word)

Thanks

The iscan packages are not in the repos, so need manually downloading. The package you have depends on another in order to work, so you need to get what it needs.

That is the page I downloaded ' iscan_2.29.1-5~usb0.1.ltdl7_amd64.deb' from.
re-ran this morning and received this message from the Ubuntu Software Center'Dependency is not satisfiable: iscan (>=2.21.0)'

Andrew
I was not clear in my request. Where do I find the other package from the information given?

Thanks guys
Cliff

Ok ,

Lets do it with the way I know.

First of all , delete the package you downloaded..

Then go here --> http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/searchModule
and download ALL the packages .
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
ESC/P Driver (full feature)
latest ESC/P-R Driver (generic driver)
Scanner Driver Linux Ver. 2.29.1/1.17.0 core package&data package
Scanner Driver Linux latest network plugin package
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

ONLY .deb packages , nothing else. You will see the iscan_data.all.deb also.

Now , you must place all the .debs you downloaded on your Desktop and then open a terminal ...

give this command
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

give the results back here.

Thanks

Correction for answer #5

Correct command for #5th answer is
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
cd Desktop
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
+++++++++++++++++++++++++

When I say ALL the packages , I mean the packages are related to your architecture.

Usually the .deb packages for printer has an lsb3.2 in the name

The .deb packages for scanner has an ltdl7 in the name .

Ok ? I don't want to confuse you, do not download everything you see there.. but the iscan-data_1.17.0-2_all.deb is there. Is the last in the list.

And is better to install the packages from terminal and not software center..

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

above command will install all the .deb packages are listed in your /home directory.
If you place the .deb packages in Desktop as I say in #5th answer , you must first connect to Desktop with cd command

++++++++++++++++++
cd Desktop
++++++++++++++++++

Thanks and sorry If I confused you.

Ok , it seems that you cannot find the package iscan_data.. that is
required.

I downloaded for you and you can take it with this command

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
wget "http://ubuntuone.com/1OEIXlW5mzzVCLsDAki2i8" -O
~/Desktop/iscan-data_1.17.0-2_all.deb
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Then try to install again .

Went automatically to Ubuntu software Center (USC) and indicated a bad portion of iscan_1.17...deb
went ahead and had it fix the problem
The USC could not iscan-data to remove it
went to Synaptic package Manager and found the file and removed it
then went to terminal and re-installed
works fine now
Thanks Nick

I do not understand this "went automatically to USC.

If you execute this command

wget "http://ubuntuone.com/1OEIXlW5mzzVCLsDAki2i8" -O ~/Desktop/iscan-data_1.17.0-2_all.deb

the file iscan-data , must be placed on your desktop.

The above command is ONE LINE , I forgot to mention that.

Anyway , glad we solved.

Thanks

The package downloaded to my download file and when I clicked on it to move it the desktop it opened the Ubuntu software center. the package had a problem and was cleared by the USC.
Something went wrong back then all is alright now.

Just re-entered wget in terminal and it responded as you indicated it should. The package is on the Desktop,if you left click on it it will go to the USC to be installed.

Thanks for the help
Cliff

Yes. Ok .
If you left click on it.
But you shouldn't left click on it, you should run
+++++++++++++++
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
+++++++++++++++
to install again all .deb packages on you Desktop (including the
iscan-data).

Its Ok. We solved it , we are happy , no problem now.

The synaptic package manager you used is an alternate Good and Strong tool.
Better than USC (i.m.o).

:)
