Did you send them a nice note about the linux drivers?

I have had NO issues whatsoever.  In fact, an older Epson AIO inkjet provided a pretty nice scanner GUI with the linux DEB!  I still prefer gscan2pdf, for the numerous options.  but for a quick scan to PDF or jpg, the Epson GUI was a nice go to!   https://askubuntu.com/questions/1303419/installing-epson-iscan-for-linux   EDIT:  Epson provides Linux drivers for NUMEROUS devices, but states on website they will not provide support for Linux drivers.  I view this as a non-issue, as I'm used to troubleshooting my own issues on non-official support forums; as I suspect many/most Linux users are.  I was just THRILLED to discover linux-specific drivers provided BY the vendor/manufacturer.  I can support that....and I DO!
