I installed the correct Linux drivers from Epson, and tried both the Image Scan! app from Epson, and the Image Scan app from the repositories. All say there is no scanner. Yet, when I went to Terminal and did lsusb, I get this:
Code: Select all
david@david-OptiPlex-7010:~$ lsusb

Bus 003 Device 004: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)

BTW, I did a restart after the installation of the drivers, and tried turning on and off the scanner. (as any previous Windows user would have).
My computer is a Dell Optiplex 7010 desktop, i7, 3770, and I'm running Mint Cinnamon 19 with all updates.
