Scanner of Epson Ecotank L395 not working

Hi there,

I installed an Epson Ecotank L395 multifunctional printer. I can print without any troubles, but I can't get the scanner working on Archlinux. I installed "iscan" and "iscan-data". I get the following results on terminal:

  # can't be detected by this program.

$ sudo scanimage -L

No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).

Any ideas on how to make the scanner working properly?
Thanks in advance,
D.

Thanks.

Hi,
I just installed epson-inkjet-printer-escpr, sane and simple-scan, in that order (I don't know if that matters) and it worked. Now I have both printer and scanner  Epson L395 working.

Hope it helps.
