drivers - Can't get scanner function working on Epson ET-4550 - Ask Ubuntu


the printer function worked 'out of box' via wifi had struggle getting scanner work, , ended having connect via usb cable , use simple scan. recently, has stopped working. on epson site dl , install imagescan-bundle-ubuntu-14.04-1.1.13.x64.deb. installed it, complained couldn't find libboost-filesystem1.54.0. installed libboost-all-dev, latest version seems 1.58.0, when rerun imagescan install still complaining can't find 1.54.0 !

does know maintains code imagescan, , there way version of code uses latest version of libboost, or there other way around scanner working again?

scanner software development must unsexy in ubuntu circles, interfaces windows 386, , when it's working, seems quite buggy , temperamental. :)

this works on fedora...

make sure printer connected network, then

cd /etc/imagescan/ sudo -h gedit imagescan.conf  

(use favourite text editor)

change following line...

;myscanner.udi    = networkscan:esci://192.168.xxx.xxx:1865 

to...

myscanner.udi    = networkscan:esci://192.168.printer's.ip:1865  

(remove semi-colon , enter printer's ip address: 1865 default port)
