Hi, I'm an owner of Epson Perfection V330 Photo scanner (V37 analog, production of 2013). It worked then and works now on proprietary drivers from Epson: http://support.epson.net/linux/en/imagescanv3.php You can find the version that fits (the first link with version 3.59.2 is the driver, the second with version 2.30.4 is its frontend, ImageScan) here https://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/searchModule Just enter "V39" into the search field. It is enough to install the drovers to get the full scanner functionality. However, Epson proposes the driver packages for Ubuntu 16.04 and above only. Hope this helps. Best regards, Yuri
