Hi sane-devels,
I'm hoping someone here can help solve my issue of not being able to use
my Epson 4180 scanner with SANE. Below are the details of my steup and
what I have tried so far.
Scanner:
Epson Perfection 4180 Photo
Operating System:
Linux Mint 17.3
$ uname -a

Version of SANE:

From the Epson support download site I can download:
iscan-2.10.0-1.c2.i386.rpm
I turn that into a package that I can install on my system and install it:
$ sudo alien --target=amd64 --scripts iscan-2.10.0-1.c2.i386.rpm
$ sudo dpkg --install iscan_2.10.0-2_amd64.deb
I found that the "/usr/share/doc/iscan-data/SUPPORTED-DEVICES" file has
the following line in it:
- Epson Perfection 4180 PHOTO (requires iscan-plugin-gt-f600)

No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
$ scanimage -d
scanimage: no SANE devices found
My "/etc/sane.d/dll.conf" has everything commented out except the
following line:
epkowa
My "/etc/sane.d/epkowa.conf" only contains:
scsi EPSON

$ ls /usr/lib/sane

Not sure it is related to the scanner not being identifed, but when I
run iscan I get an error:

I have searched the web for days trying to get my scanner working. No
luck so far. Does anyone have an idea about how to solve my issue?
Thank you in advance.
