Epson XP-405 driver
I am awaiting delivery of an Epson XP-405 all-in-one printer/scanner and would like to know if anyone out there is using one with LM and if it worked out of the box, without having to look for a driver, etc. Thanks for your help.

Re: Epson XP-405 driver
On any printer question, the best place to check is with http://linuxprinting.org , not specific distribution forums.
As it happens, there is a positive response on http://www.openprinting.org/printer/Eps ... 406_Series .

Re: Epson XP-405 driver
Everything seems to be working fine but the scanner driver is still missing. The printer driver was easy task, all I had to do is follow instructions on connecting to USB. Can't find the scanner driver though. Help please.
Re: Epson XP-405 driver
Still going round in circles. I am reaching the conclusion that there is no Epson XP-405 scanner driver (printer is OK) available from Linux. I have spent hours looking for one without success.
Re: Epson XP-405 driver
Just in case it might help someone out there, the installed driver for my system is epson-inkjet-printer-201201w_1.0.0-1lsb3.2_i386.deb 1.71 MB but it appears that it only covers the printing side of the XP-405. The scanner does not work via USB, nor wirelessly, on my desktop PC running Maya. And yet, it works with my iPad2.
Re: Epson XP-405 driver
Sorry guys if I am being "heavy" about this one. Still struggling to find a way to SCAN with my new Epson XP-405 all-in-one printer. Very annoying because my old Epson Perfection 1200U is still going strong and scans beautifully (via USB). With this new XP-405 I keep getting "no scanner detected" despite being connected to the PC with the same USB cable that I use for the old 1200U. Also tried VueScan, same result. I am beginning to think that this new Epson printer is incompatible with LM. Isn't there anyone out there with an Epson XP-405? Any tips would be much appreciated.

Re: Epson XP-405 driver
Many thanks Kevin. Just tried to install i386.deb (there are two) and on both I get Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: iscan-data.g0lrk wrote:riki

Re: Epson XP-405 driver
Just had a chat with Epson Support (another one) and they now tell me, finally, that the XP-405 is not compatible with Linux and therefore they cannot help. It now doesn't even print, it just spits out sheet after sheet non-stop without printing anything. So that's it, bought the wrong printer I should have done more research but didn't bother assuming that it would be compatible like my old Epson printer Photo 750 and Epson scanner Perfection 1200U. You live and learn...
Re: Epson XP-405 driver
I have just found out that scanning with the Epson XP-405 is possible with LM15. Can anyone help me to be able to scan with LM13 LTS which is my main distro? Thanks.
Re: Epson XP-405 driver
Look on the Ubuntu Forums for http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2091976 This thread seems to have both the scanner and printer driver packages covered for the Epson XP-405. Note that to get the scanner driver working, you must also load the iscan-data_1.19.0-1_all.deb package first, then the appropriate driver package.
