staedtler-przyborski, I wanted to thank you for your help. I've got an Epson Perfection V370 scanner that hasn't been working since the upgrade to Artful. Thanks to your instructions about making symlinks and 79 -udev-epson.rules, xsane can now at least _find_ the scanner, a considerable improvement! Currently, however, simple scan, iscan, and xsane can't identify the model the way they used to, and still can't connect to the scanner. Xsane, for instance, takes a long time to scan for the devices and finds two scanners on the same port: [epkowa:usb:002:006] and [epkowa:interpreter:002:006]. No matter which one I choose, I get an error message that says "Failed to open device [devicename]: Invalid argument"

But the scanner is no more recognized. Scanners that are affected are(besides others): - Epson Perfection V10 - Epson Perfection V1000 - Epson WorkForce GT-1500 - Brother MFC-8510DN - Epson Perfection V33 It is to note that the probability that the scanner manufacturers fix things others broke is below 100%.
