Epson xp-305 printer scanner
I've just re-installed Ubuntu 18.04.1 and a few days later gone to install the printer driver for an XP-305 printer/scanner but I have not been able to get the scanner to work.
I've downloaded two packages from the Epson website:
epson-inkjet-printer-escpr_1.6.35-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb
and
epson-printer-utility_1.0.2-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb
and I also got iscan-bundle-1.0.4.x64.deb.tar.gz, I think also from the Epson website.
Once I'd unpackaged the .tar.gz I tried to follow the README.rst file but I think I may have made a mistake somewhere along the line and, to be fair, I am now pretty lost with it all.
I would hugely appreciate someone's help to get the scanner utility on the printer/scanner to work.
Please help if you can. All the best!

Hi @GabrielaGarcia, thanks for the comment. I have installed all of the .deb packages and followed the instructions for this, but it is still not working. I get an error message: Could not send command to scanner. Check the scanner's status. I've checked that it is on - I think there is some problem in reaching the scanner on the network. I know the printer is on the CUPS network because I can print, but I think this uses something called SANE and I have no idea how to make sure that is working.
