This sounds like a good candidate to be added here: http://en.opensuse.org/HCL:Printers#Epson It will be lost if this is the only place it's posed. On Sat, Apr 19, 2014 at 11:19 AM, Carl Hartung <opensuse@cehartung.com> wrote:
I purchased an Epson XP-310 multifunction printer / scanner yesterday and set it up as a network appliance (Wi-Fi.) Setting up the printer side was straightforward but the scanner side took a fair bit of sleuthing and some trial and error. First, this device has only two interfaces, USB and Wi-Fi. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for connecting it to your network. Follow the steps, below, once that's done:
DOWNLOAD packages (x86_64 64-bit versions shown) from:
epson-inkjet-printer-escpr-1.4.0-1lsb3.2.x86_64.rpm iscan-2.29.3-1.usb0.1.ltdl7.x86_64.rpm iscan-data-1.27.0-1.noarch.rpm iscan-network-nt-1.1.1-1.x86_64.rpm
MOVE packages to a new / empty temporary directory and INSTALL:
# zypper in *.rpm
--> This command will automatically fulfill dependencies.
EDIT /etc/sane.d/epkowa.conf
--> Comment out 'usb' and 'scsi' detection (unless you also have a SCSI or USB scanner) by inserting a leading hash mark (#) as needed.
--> ADD line "net XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX" (without the quotes) in network scanner section. Obviously, replace "XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX" with the IP address you assigned to the printer in your router.
EDIT /etc/sane.d/net.conf
--> Enter the printer's IP address in it's own line at the bottom of the file. E.g. "192.168.1.10" (without the quotes)
EDIT /etc/sane.d/dll.conf
--> uncomment the top line "#net" (becomes just "net", without the quotes)
RUN YaST -> Scanner module
--> SELECT "Scanning via Network..." from the "Options" drop-down list
--> verify meta driver 'net' says "No scanner recognized by this driver"
--> CLICK "OK"
--> CLICK the "Add" button, select "Epson Workforce 310 Series..."
--> CLICK "OK"
--> CLICK "Continue" at the '64-bit' / 'problematic' warning
--> CLICK "OK"
Launch "Image Scan! for Linux" (installed above.) This was found on my system under 'Graphics > Scanning'. Put a document on the scanner bed and click the 'Preview' button to test.
Hope this helps someone down the road ...
