Ubuntu 13.04 xsane does not find Epson Work force 435

down loaded files from epson and attempted to install.
/home/cliffm/Downloads/iscan_2.29.1-5~usb0.1.ltdl3_amd64.deb
/home/cliffm/Downloads/iscan_2.29.1-5~usb0.1.ltdl7_amd64.deb
result 'dependency is not satisfiable: iscan-data'

The print function works fine.

Did you download iscan-data matching the version of iscan you have installed? You posted this yourself, but you never said if you installed it or not....

Hi Andrew
tried to install by double clicking on downloaded packages. This takes me to 'Open with Ubuntu Software center'
result 'dependency is not satisfiable: iscan-data'

Would have tried to extract with Archive Manager, but did not where to extract them to.

Please install in terminal, the details will be useful

Tried this earlier

cliffm@cjm:~$ sudo apt-get install iscan-data
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package iscan-data

Tried this now

cliffm@cjm:~$ sudo apt-get install iscan_2.29.1-5~usb0.1ltdl3_amd64.deb

What folder did you download the deb file to?

Did not know where to down load it. So just to my Download file, it is not extracted. They are zipped files.

Then you will first need to run:

cd ~/Downloads
sudo dpkg -i ./iscan_2.29.1-5~usb0.1ltdl3_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get -f install

Should be ok.

cliffm@cjm:~$ cd Downloads
cliffm@cjm:~/Downloads$ sudo dpkg -i ./iscan_2.29.1-5~usb0.1ltdl3_amd64.deb

Then its not in that folder, is it on the desktop where most disorganised users store data?

The boxed or ,non extracted, file download file, is in Downloads 'iscan_2.29.1-5~usb0.1.ltdl3_amd64.deb'

I did extract this file to a folder 'Iscan' this is what was extracted, using the Achive manager.

/home/cliffm/Downloads/Iscan/DEBIAN
/home/cliffm/Downloads/Iscan/etc
/home/cliffm/Downloads/Iscan/usr
/home/cliffm/Downloads/Iscan/var

That isnt any use to you. you need the iscan-data deb file

cliffm@cjm:~$ sudo apt-get install iscan-data
[sudo] password for cliffm:

Where can I find this?

Sorry I did not see the iscan-data on the Epson site.
Found it and downloaded it and installed using package manager.

ran
cliffm@cjm:~/Downloads$ sudo apt-get install iscan-data

re-started computer and scanner.
Still cannot find the scanner using either xSane if SimpleScan.

Are you connecting it via USB or over WiFi?

USB

Thanks for the hand holding.

Found the Epson Printer package and loaded that.
Now xSane and simple scan are working

Thanks again for your patience.
Cliff

Thanks actionparsnip, that solved my question.
