I've recently bought an Epson all-in-one & am having a pile of
difficulty to get it to work properly.
What driver are you using for it? I have a WF-3620 and WF-3640
all-in-ones, and I discovered that the driver packaged with Fedora
doesn't work. I had to download a driver from Epson instead. This, even
though ostensibly the Fedora driver has a newer version. This latter
fact I didn't discover until I realized that my printer quit working
every time I did an update, so I had to add exclude=epson* to dnf.conf
to keep dnf from replacing the Epson-downloaded driver with the
Fedora-packaged one on each update.

Hi Greg,
Thanks for your note. I'm using a driver I downloaded from Epson's
own site. The driver part seems to work ok. I noticed that I hadn't
unpacked & installed the scanner "bundle" - one would assume that a
package for an all-in-one would install all parts...... However,
following Epson's instructions doesn't seem to do anything.....
Wouldn't it be nice if there was a button on a printer which sends a
"here I am" message to all stations on the LAN?????f
Thanks again for your help
Dave
This information is from PCLOS, but it may also apply to your setup. It
applies specifically to an Epson WP-4530 all-in-one. In order to make
the scanner work, there is a
file in /etc/sane.d named dll.conf. That file is a list of all kinds of
scanners, and in that list is epson and #epson2. put a # in front of
epson and remove the # in front of epson2. My information says do this
if the /printer/scanner is on your lan. Also in /etc/sane.d net
autodiscovery should be uncommented.
Don't know if this will apply to Fedora, but it's worth a look.
