I have the printer and printer drivers installed. I can not get the Epson Linux driver for the scanner part of the printer installed. When I try to run the Ubuntu .deb file, it says that there are dependencies missing and that they can not be installed. When I run the .tar file, I get the same response. On my Linux Mint and Ubuntu Studio distros, the driver installed properly. Any one know of a work around? Thanks in advance for your time and effort. In all cases I downloaded the Linux drivers from the Epson Linux Driver web page. Again, the driver worked well in other distros.
It might help if you provided more detail, such as the version of Ubuntu you are running, what printer model number is, which specific driver package you installed, and what the missing dependencies are.
Distribution: Ubuntu based stuff for the most part

Rep:
Did you install the sane package? You will need that for just about any scanner.
A common issue after sane is installed is that the only user in the sane group is root, so you need add your account to the sane group to use the scanner.
