Hi all,
I’m considering buying a scanner. It’s new for me, so I’m looking for some advices.
After some research, I chose an Epson Perfection V37.
It doesn’t appear in the list of sane support:
http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html#Z-EPSON
However, according to this list, the V37 is supported:
http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/du/02 ... d8b481d435
Does someone has a V37 and uses it under Linux?
For the time being, a friend lend me a Epson SX130. I use it with iscan. Is the V37 works fine with iscan, is there a specific problem with this model?
Overall, what do you think of the V37?
Thank you in advance,
Arathor.

Scanner Epson V37 under Linux
Re: Scanner Epson V37 under Linux
Hi Arathor,
I just installed the Epson V37 scanner successful under Debian Squeeze (i386).
Please search on site "http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/searc ... rch/?OSC=L" after your scanner product (V37).
It should be appear core package&data package and iscan plugin package
install this packages under Squeeze
iscan-data_1.22.0-1_all.deb
iscan_2.29.1-5~usb0.1.ltdl7_i386.deb
iscan-plugin-perfection-v370_1.0.0-2_i386.deb
you can check it with following
sane-find-scanner --> found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x014a [EPSON Perfection V37/V370]) at libusb:003:005
scanimage -L --> device `epkowa:interpreter:003:005' is a Epson Perfection V37 flatbed scanner
after installation it working successful with GIMP and Image Scan

Re: Scanner Epson V37 under Linux
Indeed, it works. I’m under wheezy.
Thank you very much for your answer, timeghost. I had a moment of fear, since it didn’t work with just iscan and iscan-data (“Could not send command to scanner. Check the scanner's status.”). The Epson site doesn’t indicate that it needed a plugin. I have to come back to see your post, since you said it works.
The plugin for the V37 is here:
http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/du/02 ... e65a538440
Result : it works with iscan, perfect! And sane find the scanner (just in case, I added epkowa in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf).

Re: Scanner Epson V37 under Linux
Just wanted to mention that this worked for my Epson Stylus Photo RX595 (PM-A840S) printer/scanner.
Code: Select all
$ uname -vro
4.2.0-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.2.1-2 (2015-09-27) GNU/Linux

Re: Scanner Epson V37 under Linux
Hi,
I'm new to installing things with commandpromt line.
It seems Epson has packaged the files mentioned earlier to one package .deb . I have dowloaded the package to my /Download directory but don't know how to install it.
If somebody has the time to help me out I'd be very thankfull.
Norbert

'apt install ./package.deb' (new) or 'dpkg -i ./package.deb' (old). If you want a GUI for this, install gdebi.Kelzenburger wrote:I have dowloaded the package to my /Download directory but don't know how to install it.
Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action. Four times is Official GNOME Policy.
Re: Scanner Epson V37 under Linux
+1 for above.
Just to add that if you get any error messages, you may have to add one or two libraries.
apt-get install <name of file missing file>, then run the apt-install or dpkg -i again until it installs with no errors.
I have a Canon 9000F MkII which works perfectly with Xsane under Stretch, Testing and Sid.
