Does the Epson Perfection V600 Photo Scanner or V550 Work with SANE

Question

Before buying either the Epson Perfection V600 Photo Scanner or the Epson Perfection V550, I would like to confirm from a person who has used either of these scanners under Linux that they work with SANE. The SANE documentation may be out of date.

The Perfection V550 and V600 are listed as "not supported". The model 500 appears to now be obsolete as the current model is now the 550 and it is not listed in SANE.

I would like to know, from a person who has used these scanners, if these scanners work with SANE.

As an alternative, Epson does have a website for downloading Linux drivers.

Solution

Update for people looking for the answer: it seems Epson updated the package and now provides a "single install" package. (http://support.epson.net/linux/en/iscan.php?model=perfection-v550&version=1.0.0) This is a .tar.gz with the .deb files mentioned by Gerhard Kulzer and an install.sh script to install the packages in the right order:

tar xaf iscan-perfection-v550-bundle-1.0.0.x64.deb.tar.gz
cd iscan-perfection-v550-bundle-1.0.0.x64.deb
sudo sh install.sh

Can you please explain how to install these? (The order doesn't matter by the way. The package configuration process will take care of that.)
