What’s the output from:
uname -a
and
dpkg -l | grep iscan
Linux C 3.2.0-35-generic-pae #55-Ubuntu SMP Wed Dec 5 18:04:39 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
and
ii iscan-data 1.22.0-1 Image Scan! for Linux data files
Download and install this file:

When that’s installed … see if Xsane can find the scanner now.

Heh! Works a treat.
Thanks 
You’re welcome
Hello, I don’t know whether anyone can help me. I’ve just bought same printer as OP and am not Linux-savvy enough to get it to work it seems.
I have installed the relevant drivers (epson-inkjet-printer-201201w_1.0.0-1lsb3.2_i386.deb) through the Software Centre but am now at a loss as to what to do next.
Any help would be greatly appreciated (I know how annoying explaining things to noobs can be - I do it on a daily basis on a different subject so apologies!)
Make sure your printer is attached amd switched on
In your web browser click this link:
http://localhost:631
Then click the “Administration” tab
If at any time you’re prompted for a username and password … it wants you Linux username and password.
Click the “Find new printers” button.
Give the printer an name.
And choose the correct make and model.
Thanks Mark, all is working now, brilliant.
You’re most welcome … glad to hear you got it working
Have you also got the scanner working ?

Don’t worry about that, Mark enjoys it, I should know I annoy him all the time
