Epson L210 printer and scanner was working in Ubuntu 14.04 but upgrading to 16.04 only printer is working. I have the scanner driver deb amd 64 package but I don't know how to install.

  • Hi apparently the deb package installs the sane drivers in the wrong directory for ubuntu 16.04, check out this question: http://askubuntu.com/questions/791556/not-working-brother-scanner-in-ubuntu-16-04-though-driver-installed – samy Sep 27 '16 at 08:59

Are you sure it is a deb? The epson file (iscan) is not actually a deb even though it has ".deb" in the file name (eg iscan-bundle-1.0.0.x64.deb.tar.gz).

Is iscan installed? If not, try these directions:

  1. Download the most recent iscan software.

  2. Extract the software using archive manager (eg In Nautilus, right-click downloaded file and then Open With Archive manager)

  3. Open a terminal and go to the extracted folder (eg In Nautilus, right-click extracted folder and then 'Open in Terminal').

  4. Type ./install.sh

For more info and in case of problems, see the Epson installation guide:

  • I have followed the instructions - but scanner is still not working. A message showing "could not send command to scanner check the scanner status" – Samir Brahmachari Jul 01 '16 at 17:50
