Some steps are from George Smart's blog and SANE website.
- install packages:
sudo apt-get install xsane sane libsane-extras sane-utils netpbm libusb - download the firmware:'Esfw41.bin'
- copy firmware:
sudo cp -v Esfw41.bin /lib/firmware/esfw41.bin - modify the config file: add 'firmware /lib/firmware/esfw41.bin' to '/etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf'
- find the scanner:
lsusb
sane-find-scanner - find the device:
scanimage -L
In my case(Epson Perfection 2480), it's 'snapscan:libusb:001:005' - test it:
sudo scanimage -d snapscan:libusb:001:005 --format pnm > out.pnm - convert it to jpg:
pnmtojpeg out.pnm > out.jpg
or
sudo scanimage -d snapscan:libusb:001:005 --mode color -x 215 -y 285 --resolution 600 |pnmtojpeg >out.jpg - done.
Epson package(iscan) looks not a must, neither does X. maybe xsane either
