Manjaro Linux and Scanning with Epson ET-2750

Utsushi - probably a GUI under imagescan v. 3

This was an unexpected hard task. I thought that it would be a matter of just pluggin in the usb and then scan. But no.

In order to use the Epson ET-2750 Eco Tank scanner do this:

• Install imagescan v. 3
  # pacman -S imagescan
• Run this command:
  # utsushi
• Select the correct USB device
• Scan and save with the file ending of whatever file format you want, say .pdf or .jpeg or ...

Xsane, Imagescan and so on cannot find the device. I guess that the utsushi GUI is part of the imagescane package. I is somewhat strange to install a packet, and run it by another name.

And if you think that you can find Utsushi in the progam launcher ... forget it. But you can start the thing from your favorite terminal window.

Hey, isn't that why we just love Linux. I learned a lot about UX this afternoon.
