Epson XP430 printer, driver needed to allow use of Scan(to computer, to network, etc). Am running Mint-MATE,18.3,64b.
Mint recognizes the printer, but not the scanner, of this AIO unit. This AIO not listed in Linux Print, nor Epson sites.Any help would be gratefully appreciated. Thank you.

The Epson Linux driver site does offer a scanner driver package. Type 'XP-430' for the model and you'll see it in the list.

Just to clarify further - when on the scanner driver page, navigate to Linux Scanner Driver Download >> Package Download Page, and there you'll see the various package options available to download from.

Ferrari-Thanks so much for the info, I could not, prior to your reply, find it anywhere. I installed it first using the command:

tar xaf imagescan-bundle-linuxmint-18-1.3.24.x64.deb.tar.gz
cd imagescan-bundle-linuxmint-18-1.3.24.x64.deb
./install.sh
It ran, but when I went to "Simple Scan", it would not show up, only my HP scanner was there. So next, I used the install.sh command. It ran, then the deb pkg installer said "same program already installed". Still a no show in "Simple Scan". Any other suggestions, please? And again, thanks for your assistance.

How is your AIO device connected? (Network or USB). If network attached, then the 'imagescan-plugin-networkscan' package is also required. Try using the 'imagescan' application that is part of the scanning bundle.

The 'Image Scan v3 Manual' is worth a read:
http://download.ebz.epson.net/man/li....html#sec6-1-4

Network Scan. Went as advised above, used cmd: "dpkg --install imagescan-plugin-networkscan_${ver}–${rel}epson4ubuntu_${arch}.deb" received error message. Please see attachment.

That error is because the .deb package couldn't be found at the location you installed from. Navigate to the location you downloaded it to and install from there, or specify the path to the file.

Thank you. Did as you said-"cd", and ran the file, to no avail. Please see screenshot. Scanner does not show on wireless, or when I plug in to usb. Thank you so much for all your help.

A permissions problem perhaps? For USB-connected scanners at least, it may be necessary for the user to be a member of the 'lp' group. With the scanner connected to a USB port, what is reported by the following command?
If nothing found, run again as root using
Report back with the output and don't forget to enclose the output within code tags (refer to the'#' button in the editor). It's better than posting image snippets IMO.

You can also disconnect and reconnect the scanner from a USB port and capture the kernel output
That might tell us how the device is being enumerated.

I very much appreciate your taking the time to assist, but I think we'll give it one more try then stop.Once again, many, many thanks.

Please use code tags when posting output! Your scanner device was detected by 'sane-find-scanner'
On this basis, try running the Epson scanning utility (launched from a terminal window) with
Happy to be of guidance, and we've only just got started. We're not over your shoulder, and so we rely on you to post relevant information that can lead to a successful resolution. That can require investigation to eliminate possible problems. It's your choice if you decide to stop with this process.

Although I don't own Epson hardware, I installed the imagescan packages to examine them further, and note that for network-attached Epson devices, the /etc/imagescan/imagescan.conf can be edited to include the IP address of the scanner as explained in the configuration information contained in that file...
For USB-connected Epson AIO devices, the imagescan package provides udev rules (/etc/udev/rules.d/utsushi-esci.rules) which should allow the detection of compatible models (including and entry for the XP-430 model). Running the imagescan front-end should be all that is necessary to access the scanner.

OK-you hit the nail on my head, it works. Thank you ever so much for all the assistance. You can please mark this as "Resolved".

Good to read of your success with this. This thread may be useful to others who come searching.
