  • google: epson scanner drivers linux
• 2013-04-18
  • Epson v33, v330, v37 and v370: ubuntu.com directed me to an epson.net page that gave me the debian drivers.
    • http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/?OSC=LX
    • Every thing else I've found, including ubuntu.com, say these scanners don't work with linux.
  • Canon LIDE 110 (2400 dpi) is supported by sane-project.org. In preparation I did this:
    • update and install libsane and sane-utils.
    • wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsScannersCanon
    • Now I have a sane-project.org that says Cannon LIDE 110 is completely supported by sane, another way.
