A question was asked about scanner code for the Epson WF-2540 printer.

I was able to find the linux drivers at the Epson webpage

http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/searchModuleFromResult

by entering in the "WF-2540" model and "linux" OS.

Since I have a 64-bit system, I took the precomplied modules and installed
the data package and then the core package and then the nt-plugin package,
all in that order.

Unfortunately, for me, running openSuse 13.1, when I attempted to use Yast2
to configure the scanner, for a network scanner, the xinetd start up file
in the /etc/init.d location is missing (forcing one to use chkconfig
{service} on/off command to enable/disable that service) so the
scanning-detection routine failed.

Some fixing is necessary to enable scanning the LAN for the Epson scanner,
but the source packages are available from Epson (believe it or not)

I am very reluctant to fix the folders/scripts inside openSuse 13.1 /etc
area because of the likelihood of breaking something or creating a hacking
vulnerability with xinetd.
