Unable to get Epson Perfection V500 Photo Scanner working in Linux Lite 3.2

Consider the following:

Torreydale - Yes, at the time of writing this post, I'd already seen the above link you mention – the author of the link had forgotten to install  iscan-plugin-gt-x770_2.1.2-1_amd64.deb -  I have this installed, so our problems are a bit different. Let me explain...

In LL2.8, my Epson Perfection V500 scanner worked perfectly. I used the following 3 packages for it to work with iscan, the latter coming installed by default with LL
(A1) iscan-data_1.29.0-2_all.deb
(A2) iscan_2.29.3-1~usb0.1.ltdl7_amd64.deb
(A3) iscan-plugin-gt-x770_2.1.2-1_amd64.deb

The problem is these don’t work for the above scanner in LL3.2 (based on Ubuntu 16.04), so I assume though they work for LL2.8 (based on Ubuntu 14.04) they are probably out of date for LL3.2.

The author of the above link finally used the following packages to make the Perfection V500 scanner work in Ubuntu 16.04:
(B1) xsltproc_1.1.26-8ubuntu1_amd64.deb  (I have this installed by default in LL3.2)
(B2) iscan-data_1.36.0-1_all.deb                  (I can’t find this on the internet)
(B3) iscan_2.30.2-2_amd64.deb                    (I can’t  ..      ..  ..    ..        ..    )
(B4) iscan-plugin-gt-x770_2.1.2-1_amd64.deb  (I have this)

As you can see I’m having problems finding packages B2 & B3 on the internet.  The package versions B2 & B3 certainly look like later versions of A1 & A2 respectively.  I’ve googled but not come up with anything, including the link he mentioned. Maybe I’ve missed something, somewhere…

Any concrete ideas much appreciated.  I just don't want to have to use Windows OS just to operate my scanner ...!  :

To help with clarity and get my question answered, please could you start a new thread and transfer post #2 to it, as it concerns a very different device (an Epson L210 printer) from the scanner I'm having difficulties with in the present thread - many thanks.
