I didn't know gparted worked in Windows, I was thinking just right-click on the drive icon and choose "format"

Thanks, by the way would formatting it in Windows instead of gparted do the same thing?

If I delete a live linux OS from the usb pen drive will I be able to use it as a regular usb storage drive or is there some procedure I have to do to remove the OS and make the usb drive usable?

Ah you're faster typing than me, ha, ha. Is there another option in the preferences Scan Source other than your printer name? If there is try that one.

I know what you mean by the "few extra steps" needed in Linux, I'm a new Linux user too, it took me a few weeks of frustration to get full functionality on my printer. Hope you get it running the way you want.

I just noticed that in a post you said you got the scanner to work with Imagescan but not Simplescan, have you tried going to "preferences" in Simplescan and then changing the "Scan Source"? That's what I did to get Simplescan to work.

That is very weird, where are you getting the PDF Japanese file from? It's certainly not the link I posted. Did you download the driver from this page - http://support.epson.net/linux/en/imagescanv3.php Once you download the version for your Linux distro you can click on the downloaded file and...

I don't understand why you are seeing Japanese, I just tried the link in my post and it goes to Epson's download page in English not Japanese. Here are Epson's instructions on how to install the driver: http://download.ebz.epson.net/man/linux/imagescanv3_e.html#sec6-1

This Epson scanner driver package should be compatible with your printer: http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/du/02/DriverDownloadInfo.do?LG2=EN&CN2=&DSCMI=110072&DSCCHK=397525cbcd160a655a95dcbcb4abf8bd6670000f After I downloaded and installed epson's scanner driver I got the scanner part of my...

I downloaded the scanner driver from Epson and I was able to scan with Epson's Imagescan. After the download Simple Scan detected the scanner but would still not scan. I searched the web looking for info on how to get Simple Scan working but without success. I poked around the "Preferences" in...

Not yet, I'm confused as to what I need to download. The printer is printing so I would only need to download the scanner driver?

It's a an Epson XP-340 printer/scanner combo, this one: https://epson.com/Support/Printers/All-In-Ones/XP-Series/Epson-XP-340/s/SPT_C11CF28201

I have an Epson xp printer/scanner, the printer prints but when I tried to scan with "Simple Scan" it says scanner is not detected. How do I get the scanner to work? The printer/scanner is connected by usb cable to a eeepc netbook with MInt 18.1

Thanks much, I'm glad I looked around before attempting the first fix I came across.

Thanks, I solved my problem with this command: sudo chown -R vnstat:vnstat /var/lib/vnstat Is it safer? I got it from the unbuntu website. I think it means that ownership of the file has been switched to vnstat, so now it's able to write to the file and display bandwidth use.
