If your scanner is not detected

[alloydog]

I know this topic hasn't been active since 2017, but I just wanted to add that I had had scanner problems for years!  I have been using Linux Lite since 2.8, but now on 5.8 and for both my old HP All-in-One printer and now my Epson ET-2720, the scanner function has been hit and miss.  I have followed god knows how many HowTos and so on.  Tonight [i]nothing[I] worked, til I googled "Linux Lite scanner not found" and this post came up as the first return.

Followed the instructions in this post and it worked like a dream! No guessing which of the six names for the same scanner to use, blah, blah...

I have just spent a very worth while thirty Euros and will happily ignore step 5 of the above insructions
