The author of the above link finally used the following packages to make the Perfection V500 scanner work in Ubuntu 16.04: The problem is these don’t work for the above scanner in L元.2 (based on Ubuntu 16.04), so I assume though they work for LL2.8 (based on Ubuntu 14.04) they are probably out of date for L元.2.

I used the following 3 packages for it to work with iscan, the latter coming installed by default with LL In LL2.8, my Epson Perfection V500 scanner worked perfectly. Torreydale - Yes, at the time of writing this post, I'd already seen the above link you mention – the author of the link had forgotten to install iscan-plugin-gt-x770_2.1.2-1_b - I have this installed, so our problems are a bit different.
