Epson Image scanning in Debian

Question

I couldn't get my Epson XP-430 to work on an Ubuntu 16.04 based system.

Saw errors like:

Could not send command to scanner

no devices found

And this is after installing all the official drivers here:

Turns out that you need to add the scanner into the config manually, especially if it is connected via network.

CTI on the Linux Mint forums was especially helpful:

edit the file /etc/sane.d/epkowa.con and set/add the line
net <your epson LAN address>
e.g. in my case
net 192.168.1.137
