I did the avasys down loads.
The scanner worked one time then quit have same problem as everyone above.
I removed all the scan software from system.
Tried to reinstall the AVASYS downloads. Window came up saying other files needed to be removed also. But no option for removing them and don't know where they were located.
so just clicked install anyway.
But still back at beginning.
Never saw a option to provide IP address for the scanner, just the printer.
with simple scan it will start to scan then an error pops up saying lost communication with the scanner.
Other scan software don't even see the scanner!
Hello Friend,
Here is the definitive how to:
  1. Read this entire post.
  2. Download and install Avasys drivers
  3. Determine your printers IP address by going to System > Administration > Printing, then double click on your printer to view the location (ex. 10.0.0.3:515). If your printer is not there go to "Add" > Network Printer. Your printer should load in below the text Network Printer after a few seconds. Then follow the install guidelines selecting the Avasys driver.
  4. Enter your printers IP address in the driver configuration file /etc/sane.d/epkowa.conf
    Code:
    gksudo gedit /etc/sane.d/epkowa.conf
    Your ip address will be added in the format
    Code:
    net 10.0.0.3
  5. Log out and then back in
  6. After that you should be able to use simple scan to scan wirelessly.


I am 90% certain that the driver/program iscan doesn't actually need to be installed, but that is how I did it and it worked. Best of luck.
