Scanner drivers

Santos:
I may be necro-bumping but for anyone looking for a solution.

Use dCore x64. The Epson Scan program is only 64 bit.

Update the repo file first.

Load the dCorePlus SCE extension to set up Xorg and Wifi.

Then load these with the -d flag so you can use the existing dependencies in the Plus SCE, or just load them from a list.


--- Code: ---apt
qtbase5-dev
libjpeg-dev
feh

--- End code ---

'feh' is an image viewer, not a dependency for Epson Scan.

Download the Epson Scan program:

http://support.epson.net/linux/en/epsonscan2.php

Once downloaded, extract the content and do: ./install.sh

The installer will complain about a folder not being found. I can't recall the exact folder, but the stdout will tell you the path, just do:

mkdir -p FOLDER_PATH

After that the install script will finish and you can use the scanner, even over WiFi if you're in the same LAN. I haven't tried USB but should work.

Tip: Verify you have checked 'transfer after compression' setting ON, it will save you a lot of time when scanning in high DPI (1200 max).

I took the idea from here:
