lubuntu - How to install Epson XP-235 scanner's driver - Ask Ubuntu
my computer runs under lubuntu , i'm complete newbie linux , computers in general (i know how ctrl+alt+t , i'm lost if don't have precise help).
my epson xp-235 scanner doesn't want installed. simplescan doesn't find when plugged usb. cd doesn't want work either. tried find driver printer , after hours of trying many things worked, scanner doesn't.
i fix don't understand when. downloaded imagescan-bundle-ubuntu-16.10-1.1.13.x86.deb , tried follow readme instructions :
tar xaf imagescan-bundle-ubuntu-16.10-1.1.13.x86.deb.tar.gz cd imagescan-bundle-ubuntu-16.10-1.1.13.x86.deb ./install.sh
but following message :
tar: imagescan-bundle-ubuntu-16.10-1.1.13.x86.deb.tar.gz : open impossible : aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type tar: error not recoverable: exiting
so how ??? thank !
firstly, want unzip archive (.tar.gz file):
tar xvf imagescan-bundle-ubuntu-16.10-1.1.13.x86.deb.tar.gz
once that's done, should either have folder named similar file, or file, expect end .deb. can view files in current directory typing ls -ltr
, show more information them, , sort them modified date, recent @ bottom. locate .deb file, , run
sudo dpkg -i imagescan-bundle-ubuntu-16.10-1.1.13.x86.deb
naturally, if .deb file has different name, need change command. read output this, "you have unmet dependencies", means dpkg couldn't handle deb file since doesn't know how install other stuff required, fix tend do
sudo apt-get -f install
this prompt y/n, when does, should read it. either "the following packages installed", or "the following packages removed", , list imagescan package. if says installed, you're golden. if says removed, let me know , i'll try remember there.
