Hi!

Can anyone tell me how to set up the scanner part of an Epson L380?

The printer part is up and running.

Thanks!

It's most likely done this way (at least for printers which need the
open source driver ESC/P-R):

- Install sane.
- In /etc/sane.d/dll.conf uncomment the line epson2.
- In /etc/sane.d/epson2.conf set or uncomment those lines:

usb
usb <vendor ID> <product ID>
net <IP address | autodiscovery>

If you have it connected via Wifi you probably need to configure it for
USB, too. At least you can configure it for both connection types at
the same time.

Just in case, you won't be able to use this printer with a Raspberry Pi,
because it needs the proprietary ESC/P driver. If you consider
connecting an EPSON printer to a Raspberry Pi you would need a printer
which needs the open source driver ESC/P-R.

Regarding the printer part of the Epson L380, the
package net-print/gutenprint does the job, so this part is solved.

The question remains regarding the scanner part.  I'll try your
suggestions, then I get back with the results.

Thanks!
