What is the satus on this ? in 2014 , epson scanners are still not Plug n play on Ubuntu althought supported by ( for most of them ) the opensoucre epson2 backend.
Is there a master Bug for this ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to sane-backends in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/940063 Title: Add "iscan" configuration to Jockey Status in Jockey driver manager: New Status in “sane-backends” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I was trying to access my all-in-one Epson EP804AW's scanner through a WiFi network. This does not work out of the box. I had found instructions for generically enabling scan over WifI for epson by adding, in /etc/sane.d/epson2.conf: net 255.255.255.255 # using the printer's IP This is INCORRECT for the EP804AW. It caused Simple Scan and xsane to crash (hence the sane-backends bug report). It also locked up the EP804AW, which had to be power-cycled and recalibrated. I found the correct method in this guide: http://edgar.tumblr.com/post/1425668485/scanning-over-wifi-from-an- epson-tx550w-using-ubuntu This procedure could be simplified by installing the avasys "iscan" drivers from jockey. Jockey already provides installation options for avasys's printer drivers. Please include this in Jockey to improve user experience and prevent possible damage to hardware.
