Description

Zvober (#crom5), 2017-11-17 11:40:12 UTC

Since I can't get my Epson //(all-in-one)// L365 scanner to work in any way in Solus:
https://dev.solus-project.com/T4899
I'm requesting Epson Image Scan v3 (iScan V3 scanner driver) package to be added to the Solus Package Repository or Third Party Repository.
I think that the inclusion of Epson Image Scan v3 software in Solus repository will solve problems that other Solus people also have with their Epson scanners.

There's already a similar package named "utsushi" in Solus repository, but my Epson L365 scanner doesn't work with it and furthermore, I don't believe that the "utsushi" project is any more maintained:
https://github.com/utsushi/utsushi/issues/37

Epson Image Scan v3 can be found here:
https://github.com/utsushi/imagescan/archive/3.32.0.tar.gz

Research direction

Start by reviewing how the existing utsushi package is represented in the Solus Package Repository, then inspect the linked Epson Image Scan v3 3.32.0 source archive. Done means Epson Image Scan v3 is packaged and available in the Solus repository or Third Party Repository for Epson scanners such as the L365.
