The device in question is an Epson WF-3640. I have been able to get this device to work as a network scanner / printer with every version of ubuntu since 14.04 but the previous path of installing the iScan bundle and changing the dll.conf / epkowa files in /etc/sane.d no longer seems to work.



Install of iScan bundle 1.04:

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 how I can go at it to get the scanner to work again? atm I boot into a 16.04 System to scan but id prefer being able to switch to 17.10 entirely.

I've never really liked "Adventurer" as a job, and would like my story to have a kind of unlikely-hero vibe. besides the common "Traveling merchant", what kinds of artisans or professionals in fantasy would have a reason to move around the world (or at least visit other settlements)? First time posting, so let me know what to improve. Thanks!

          How do so many people here on Academia.SE, and in general, afford lavish higher education programs?

          Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 45 down vote favorite 7 I graduated last year with a BS in Computer Science. I do not come from a particularly wealthy family, (very low middle class), and was only able to afford my education via school loans/scholarships and working low-wage jobs, with no support from my family or anyone else. I realize some scholarship/loan programs extend into grad school. But I don't think those cover all costs. Now I'm lucky enough to have a decent-paying salary in industry, along with benefits and living on my own, and I'm thinking one day (sooner rather than later) I'd like to try my hand at research or continue my degree, but these things cost money, in addition to my regular living expenses. I read posts here often about academic people being in positions of choosing between these crazy research grad programs, some in Japan, or Ireland (while they currently live in the U.S./U.K.) then moving around between countries/universit...
