Doing the usual Ubuntu operating system updates, we are now up to 18.04.4. Epson came out with a new driver (3.63), as opposed to the 2 previous drivers mentioned above. 3.63 works just fine, so it looks as though it just wouldn't work with the previous 2 drivers. So it looks as though this problem is solved, but I don't know how to mark this question as solved. I'm going to make this same entry in the question (687949) that I started on this problem, and try to close it out also.

Rebooted my computer into Ubuntu 18.04.3, and installed the driver packages recommended by Epson (version 3.61.0 for Ubuntu 18.04, 64 bit, release date 12-26-2019) using their install.sh file with the without-network option (imagescan 3.61.0, imagescan-plugin-gt-s650 1.0.2, and imagescan-plugin-ocr-engine 1.0.2). Looking at these packages using Aptitude, it appears that they are installed OK with no missing dependencies. Imagescan (on the graphical desktop) appears to find the scanner, and when you click to scan, you can hear the scanner seeming to run normally, but no image is produced at the end. Using the terminal, lsusb, sane-find-scanner, and scanimage -L all seem to work fine for finding the scanner. But when I try scanimage -T, no image file is produced, although you can hear the scanner appearing to do a normal scan. So it appears that all the control functions are working fine, but the problem is getting the scan data. I also tried the suggestions in this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8q82X7PpRaQ) titled "ubuntu 18.04 scanner problems how to fix them" concerning bug 1728012. In the end, nothing appears to have changed, so it appears I didn't make it any better or any worse. Any help would be greatly appreciated, including referring me to another place if I'm not posting in the right place yet. Thank you.
