I have installed Image-Scan software from Epson support here . image-scan can detect my Epson L220 scanner, I can preview, I can click the scan button and a select folder to save the scan in progress. But I can't find the saved file. I have tried to run image-scan from user root, with the same result.

I'm using Xubuntu 16.04

I had the same problem using different scanner hardware (XP-960) using imagescan. What I did to solve this problem was to force the English language before running imagescan.

Go to a terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T and type:

LC_ALL=en_US.utf8 
/usr/bin/imagescan

The solution for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is not to set LC_ALL=en_US.utf8, as suggested in another answer, but LANG=en_US.utf8:

$ LANG=en_US.utf8
$ /usr/bin/imagescan

Note that this means that you will run imagescan from the terminal and NOT from the icon provided by the application.

You can also run the above in one line as:

LANG=en_US.utf8 /usr/bin/imagescan

Ubuntu 18.04 and Epson L222. I had same problem. After I changed my languages Formats to United States problem is solved (before this some remain ru_RU.UTF-8)
