I just scanned a document today with an Epson 3 in 1 (TX110).

Hope this helps.
Many thanks. It offers hope that there's a way from here to there. Here, "scanimage -L" gives "No scanners were identified." and a correct but vacuous RTFM admonition. If I correctly infer that you're using scanimage to scan, then my dismissal of it on compatibility grounds was premature. Digging has so far revealed /etc/sane.d/epson.conf, which appears to offer a path to add "libusb support for unknown scanners". And sane-find-scanner did provide "vendor" and "product" IDs which appear to map to the file's "product" and "device" IDs, as the file example for "product" is precisely the Epson "vendor" ID found by sane-find-scanner: found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x012f [EPSON \ Scanner]) at libusb:001:002 vs # usb <product ID> <device ID> # usb 0x4b8 0x110 I also uncommented the last two /dev lines, as the comments appeared to suggest. Even after a reboot, the edited epson.conf didn't improve anything, though. There is no /dev/usb.. anything. Do you have anything interesting in the uncommented part of epson.conf ? If you've not had to download any third-party drivers, then it might be time to bite the bullet and move from 7.8 to 8.4. That would obviate the need to try to get my HP printer to work with debian 7.8 - a twice attempted task which ate up a couple of days without any useful result. Hmmm ... it says here: http://download.ebz.epson.net/man/linux/iscan_e.html#sec4 that iscan requires version 1.0.3 or later of the sane package must be installed before installing iscan. That made no difference, but preceding pages did say the iscan 1.0.0 is for "all countries". Ahh here: there are more hints, including editing /etc/sane.d/dll.conf as well, to comment out: epson epson2 That didn't help either. Erik
