Epson V550 Ubuntu 20.04

Asked by Juan Patino Herraiz

Hi everyone.

I'm a beginner user of Ubuntu 20.04. I was trying to scan some 35mm film with Epson 550, with absolutely no success, I installed Epson drivers "iscan-perfection-v550-bundle-2.30.4.x64.deb" but I did not have any luck so far. Before I go to my Windows partition I would like to know if anyone out there had any success on this mission.

I've tried, VuScan, Xsane and Image Scan, non of them showed up the scanner.

Thanks a lot in advance.

have you tried this

Installing different scanning apps won't make your scanner work any more than installing lots of web browsers won't make your internet connection spring to life

Yes I installed all of them in that particular order, but when I run any scanner app, does not show up. I tried the scanner on Windows and worked totally fine on that OS.

If you open Shotwell will it import photos from the scanner?
 GIMP is a photo editor that will import photos. (GNU Image Manipulation Program) It is available in Ubuntu Software Center
Gimp is used by many photographers.

Hi Bernard,

I tried both and there's a pop windows saying, that there isn't any scanner connected. I'm going to try Vue Scan. Let's see...

Can you help with this problem?
