This one caught me out, and had me staring at debug logs for longer than I care to admit: look on the underside of the scanner for a a switch with a padlock symbol and an unlocked padlock symbol. “Help, my scanner won’t scan and there’s a red flashing light.” So, with that in mind, your final arse-scanning command is: However, I’ve found that scanimage finds the device automatically. You can find the location of your scanner with sane-find-scanner, or scanimage -L. If you are using bash, you will need to start the sane daemon with the following command in the terminal: If this is the case, Congratulations, you are done. This is to prevent the forward slash being interpreted as the operation.)Īt this point, you should be able to run up xsane, and scan away. (You may notice some backslashes in front of the path forward slashes. Sudo sed -i “s/firmware \/usr\/share\/sane\/snapscan\/your-firmwarefile.bin/firmware \/usr\/share\/sane\/snapscan\/Esfw52.bin/g” /etc/sane.d/nf Your firmware file name will be either Esfw52.bin if you have the 3490, or esfw42.bin if you have the 2480.Īgain, you can do this using sed (in this example we will use the 3490) So, as root, open /etc/sane.d/nf and replace the lineįirmware /usr/share/sane/snapscan/your-firmware.binįirmware /usr/share/sane/snapscan/ Second of all, we need to edit the snapscan config and tell it which firmware to use. Sudo sed -i “s/RUN=no/RUN=yes/g” /etc/default/saned Do this by opening /etc/default/saned (no file extention) as root and changing the line RUN=no to RUN=yes.Īgain, handy little tip if you’re using bash: you can do this in one line using an excellent tool called sed, which allows line replacement. Now we need to edit two configuration files.įirst off, we need to enable the sane daemon service.

Sudo apt-get install sane sane-utils xsane xsane-utilsįirst of all, remember the path to the firmware? We need to move (or copy, either is fine) it to a folder called /usr/share/sane/snapscan/ SANE (Scanning Access Now Easy) is the de facto scanning application for Linux. Remember it’s location: we’re about to move it somewhere! Your path to the firmware file will then be in:
#EPSON 2480 DRIVER DOWNLOAD ARCHIVE#
Now, unpackage the exe using Archive Manager, then extract the file Esfw52.binįrom the ModUsd.cab file hidden inside the archive.

Getting a hold of this requires a touch more cunning.ĭownload the Windows 7 (yes, Windows!) 64bit driver from the epson drivers site: Remember this location, we’ll be moving it and adding the new location to a config file in a bit! Wget in the folder you want to download to,ĭpkg will extract your firmware to this location: /usr/lib/epson-perfection/esfw41.bin So, you get this file by downloading the libsane-epson-perfection driver here: The 2580 and the 2480 are driven by the same firmware: esfw41.bin. I got mine from, where you select the epson-perfection-2580.

The trick is getting the firmware sorted and out of the way, before setting up everything else.
