As happens, Iscan did not make my Epson scanner work any better than sane. 
The scanner worked fine in 14.04 not in 16.04. I was given an HP about a 
month ago which works just fine in simplescan or xsane. Timing is 
everything I guess.

  description: simple, easy to use scanner utility for EPSON scanners
  Image Scan! is a graphical scanner utility for people that do not need
  all the bells and whistles provided by several of the other utilities
  out there (xsane, QuiteInsane, Kooka).

  At the moment it only supports SEIKO EPSON scanners and all-in-ones.
  However, the scanner driver it provides can be used by any other SANE
  standard compliant scanner utility.

  Note that several scanners require a non-free plugin before they can
  be used with this software.

  also http://www.avasys.jp/lx-bin2/linux_e/scan/DL1.do
  and http://www.avasys.jp/lx-bin2/linux_e/scan/DL2.do
  convert rpm package to deb with alien command, source also available for creating authentic ubuntu deb archive.

  comments: GPL and LGPL and something interesting in the non-free
  directory (but license seems very free) in the src .tar.gz

  Installing results in a conflict as shown below:
   trying to overwrite `/usr/share/man/man5/sane-epkowa.5.gz', which is also in package libsane-extras

  See also package iscan-plugin-gt-s600 which is more interesting.
