[sane-devel] Epson XP-860 Scan to Computer (PDF) function

[Kip Warner]

Hey list,

I have an Epson XP-860 multi-function printer / scanner. I am using
Ubuntu 17.10 (amd64). The device is connected via USB and wireless.

The scanner functionalist works fine from within Simple Scan or any
other scanning application. However, when I select on the device's
integrated touch screen console "Scan to Computer (PDF)", and then
select USB connection, it shows the following error message:

    "Communication error. Check if computer is connected."

I'm assuming that in order to have this work, there needs to be some
userland configuration on the connected machine. I was expecting that
when I hit that button, Simple Scan or some other user selectable
scanning application would open and the scan would begin. 

Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction?

Yours truly,
