I just installed ubuntu 12.04 - and am a complete newbie. I can get my epson stylus sx 230 to print, but it wont scan. simple scan and skanlite cant find the scanner. I tried downloading the .deb folders for iscan from the epson homepage and opening them with Gdebi but there doesn't seem to be any software called iscan or image scan in the ubuntu software center. Can anybody help me getting my scanner to scan? Baby steps please!

Next install them:

sudo dpkg -i iscan-data_1.22.0-1_all.deb
