It points to the missing drivers here: http://support.epson.net/linux/en/iscan_c.html with additional info
Make a back up just in case ;D
Update:
Some additional info (shows added code) http://askubuntu.com/questions/724323/ho...scannerher

Many thanks firenice03 for your suggestions - just rather busy at the moment with work so haven't had a chance to get back to you, re. the Epson V500 scanner installation issue in LL3.2. I will post again here when I've looked more closely at it & hopefully I'll be marking the post as "solved" by then. Till then I'll use a Windows OS virtual machine to run my scanner...

Many thanks again
Cheers
Mike

64bit OS (32-bit on Samsung[i] netbook) installed in [i]Legacy mode on MBR-formatted SSDs (except pi which uses a micro SDHC card):
2017 - Raspberry pi 3B (4cores) ~ [email protected] - LibreElec, used for upgrading our Samsung TV (excellent for the task)
2012 - Lenovo G580 2689 (2cores; 4threads] ~ [email protected] - LL3.8/Win8.1 dual-boot (LL working smoothly)
2011 - Samsung NP-N145 Plus (1core; 2threads) ~ Intel Atom [email protected] - LL 3.8 32-bit (64-bit too 'laggy')
2008 - Asus X71Q (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6/Win8.1 dual-boot, LL works fine with kernel 4.15
2007 - Dell Latitude D630 (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6, works well with kernel 4.4; 4.15 doesn't work
