This still works as of Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid!
Lucid comes with Simple Scan, which doesn't work, so you can either uninstall it or just ignore it, but you need to download/install xSane.
Then download the firmware file http://luc.byhet.free.fr/epson2480/esfw41.bin from post #9,
And follow these steps from #4:
Create the directory /usr/lib/epson-perfection/
Copy the esfw41.bin file into the /usr/lib/epson-perfection/
Open the file /etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf with gedit, then add the following line:
Code:
firmware /usr/lib/epson-perfection/esfw41.bin
Save the file, then launch xsane and there ya go!
You may need to unplug/plug the scanner back in.
