I think the Epson scan software has a dependency on the "sane" package, (according to the manual). Try the following in a terminal:

sudo apt-get install sane

and see if that helps.

Epson does not (yet) have a package for Ubuntu 20.04, only for previous Ubuntu versions. I successfully installed another Epson Scanner (DS-1630) on Ubuntu 20.04 by cloning from , then build and install (as per instructions in README).

Test from the command line with

$ sane-find-scanner
$ scanimage -L
$ utsushi --no-interface --doc-source='ADF' --duplex --resolution=150 ~/test.pdf

Next to-do for me: to use a sane frontend or utsushi as graphical interface

You are trying to install Epson Printer Utility that is not related to the scanner at all.

Also you are trying to install a 32-bit package to a 64-bit system, that is also wrong.
