Can't get Epson L210 Scanner to work in LL 3.2
#6
OK, so here is what I did:

rex@rex-EMX-MCP61M-iCafe:~$ sudo scanimage -L
[sudo] password for rex:
device `epkowa:usb:002:002' is a Epson (unknown model) flatbed scanner


then:

rex@rex-EMX-MCP61M-iCafe:~$ sudo apt-get install sane sane-utils libsane-extras xsane

So I think I installed sane-utils extras sane alright.  So per the instruction in http://askubuntu.com/questions/801142/sc...ow-working, I did this:

rex@rex-EMX-MCP61M-iCafe:~$ sudo gedit /etc/sane.d/dll.conf


and I edited /etc/sane.d/dll.conf and put # before epson2, then added a next line and typed epkowa .  Then I did this:

rex@rex-EMX-MCP61M-iCafe:~$ sudo xsane

and the result:

"Failed to open device 'epkowa:usb:002:002' : Invalid argument"


Then I edited /etc/sane.d/epkowa.conf:
sudo gedit /etc/sane.d/epkowa.conf

and looked for the line that has usb and I typed 0x04b8 0x08a1 after it, (this is what sane-find-scanner found) saved the file and exited.  Next I tried the scanner

rex@rex-EMX-MCP61M-iCafe:~$ sudo iscan


Scanner is still not working, so I am guessing it must be a bug in 'lsb' in L.L. 3.2 AND Lubuntu 16.04.
