Ok Doug, I think I found the solution by scanning through my personal email archive . . . this was all in mid-2019.
There are 3 pieces here. I think the third was the solution.
First, you downloaded imagescan-bundle-opensuse-15.2-3.65.0.x64.rpm.tar.gz from the Epson site and ran the install script, but it failed because there were two components that are proprietary to Epson which would not install (for several reasons, too detailed to recap here).
Second, you found a firmware for the Epson V300 somewhere else which you were able to install but still left the machine not working properly. I don't think that firmware is applicable for your particular model.
Third, I pointed you to the iscan package which is in the Packman repository. It provides the proprietary front-end pieces that opensuse cannot. So just run YaST/Software, search for iscan, install it, and then you should be able to install the scanner with YaST/Scanner. This worked before.
Doug, see attached photo. Start "yast2", click on the "software management" module, when it opens click on "search" and type "iscan", then select the resulting package, which as you see comes from repository packman. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from oS Leap 15.2 x86_64 (Minas Tirith))
