Ubuntu 12.04 ships libsane-extras_1.0.22. This should install without a hitch but no longer includes support for your scanner. I guess that's why you're trying the older version. You could forcibly install that but I doubt it'll work. You can get a working frontend, backend and the required non-free plugin for this scanner from: http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/?OSC=LX Hope this helps, -- Olaf Meeuwissen, LPIC-2 FLOSS Engineer -- AVASYS CORPORATION FSF Associate Member #1962 Help support software freedom http://www.fsf.org/jf?referrer=1962
