Good Day everyone.
I just recently started using Linux Mint 18.3 on an older 32 bit Dell machine and wanted to get my copy of Vuescan loaded, but Linux Mint 18.3 doesn't work with this newest upgrade. I went to the Vuescan (hamrick.com) website to get a link for Epson Drivers for Linux and the link is dead. Epson apparently is not giving out drivers anymore for Linux, so I was in a pickle So I just found a new link that will apparently work with the Epson V500 to get it working with Vuescan again. Please let me know your results. I have not loaded it, but wanted to post before I got preoccupied with something else.

The instructions for Linux Mint are the Debian version. Good Luck.
