I did not have the printer driver installed when I ran XSane for the first time. Searching in "Find files/folders" for *epson* shows some files with sane in the name, but I HAD NOT INSTALLED the printer driver at the time I ran the scanner. (The printer would not print graphics until I installed the printer driver.) I must assume the scanner driver is built into XSane or it is built in to the system somehow. If you go to the Epson linux website, you will find that there is a different driver for the scanner. Also, there is no provision in Mint for installing a scanner driver. Only a printer driver. If one wished to install a scanner driver, I don't know how he would do so. That's all I know. I'm not a Linux maven, so shoot me! --doug
