Epson DX8450

This article is a cover of my previous article regarding the installation of an Epson DX8450 on Ubuntu .

Since the passage Ubuntu 8.10 many scanner users can no longer run them. Going back to the printer multi-function in question, my tutorial remains valid for the printer installation .

The printer seems to be automatically detected as Stylus DX8400-.

However, for the part about installing the scanner, please follow the instructions below:

(I think here you have followed the beginning of the previous article on the achievement of. Deb files.)

Installing the scanner:

Double click iscan-2.11.0-1.c2.i386.deb to install the package.

Then in a terminal, run the command as follows:

sudo gedit /etc/sane.d/dll.conf

Check in the file the following line in it:

epkowa

Otherwise, add it (the list) and save the file.

If you use Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex , you will also edit the file in the directory / etc/udev/rules.d/40-basic-permissions.rules (this change is not specific to this scanner, but to all the scanner does not work after a migration from Ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10):

sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/40-basic-permissions.rules

Change the following lines:

# USB devices (usbfs replacement)
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", MODE="0664"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", MODE="0664 # USB devices (usbfs replacement)
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", MODE="0664"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", MODE="0664 "

in:

# USB devices (usbfs replacement)
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", MODE="0777"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", MODE="0777"

Restart the computer, turn on the printer and connect to the PC.

Normally, launching Applications> Graphics> XSane, the software should run without giving any error message.

Finally if you want to use iScan for scanning, run in a terminal the following command:

alacarte

Then, please choose Graphics from the list that appears, then New Item. In name enter iScan and enter iscan command. You can customize the icon. Close the window, go to Applications> Graphics> iScan. Start a prévisulalisation to make sure everything works.

So, hoping you have removed a thorn from the side!
