I was finally able to connect to avasys.jp and downloaded and installed iscan_2.28.1-3.ltdl7_amd64.deb iscan-data_1.13.0-1_all.deb. The programs appeared to install correctly.

I then ran sane-find-scanner and got back: found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8, product=0x012d) at libusb:001:003 I then ran lsusb and got back: Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 001 Device 003: ID 04b8:012d Seiko Epson Corp. Perfection V10/V100 (GT-S600/F650) Bus 001 Device 004: ID 03f0:4817 Hewlett-Packard Bus 002 Device 002: ID 093a:2510 Pixart Imaging, Inc. Optical Mouse the avasys image scan manual instructed me to run chmod 0666 /proc/bus/usb/001/003 which returned chmod: cannot access `/proc/bus/usb/001/003': No such file or directory In 12.04, no such directory exists. 12.04 appears to deal with USB in another way. What must I do to get the usb port 001/003 recognized by xsane and sane as the port where the scanner can be located? Drivers Air-usb100guhp.

What must I do to continue installing the scanner? I had a similar problem trying to make scanning to work with my Epson Perfection V300 Photo, and using the guidance above, I found: • Epson scanner software for Linux is now on the Epson site, here: • I installed 2 files: the *iscan_2.29.1-5~usb0.1.ltdl7_amd64.deb* (you may need a different version) and *iscan-data_1.19. Computax Tds Software For Hp there. 0-1_all.deb* - but the scanner software still claimed there was no scanner • I also needed to download and install the iscan plugin package (*esci-interpreter-gt-f720_0.1.1-2_amd64.deb*) from the Epson site (this isn't very clear in the PDF documentation for Image Scan! That you can download, though it is hinted at) • all 3 packages installed through the 12.04 software centre simply by double clicking on them I hope this helps. I had exactly the same problem with iscan-2.29.1-5 and iscan-data_1.19.0-1, downloaded from Epson and run on 12.04 LTS with an Epson V350 attached. Simple Scanner says 'No scanners detected. Please check your scanner is connected and powered on.'
