I have that scanner, but I don’t know if I can try it in my virtual 12.1.

Ok, wait, trying.

…

Three drivers to choose: iscan-free, sane-backends (epson2), sane-backends
(epson). I’ll try epson2. Install xsane.

…

It works fine. I see no problems.

Try AVASYS CORPORATION, these are the drivers Epson points to. As long as lsusb finds the printer.

I’ve been using the xsane plain stuff for years, never bothered to download
that stuff. Works fine, better than with the native Windows drivers.

Not printer, scanner. But yes, once lsusb finds it.

Yast, scanner, edit the scanner, perhaps delete current settings, select
another driver. There are three available.

I can’t give more details now, I have to go.
