                      I remember one thread going for the PCLinux OS is that can be used if needed.The device is shown in lsusb command but its not detecting the device for the Scanner !!!

                        It's a completely different operating system! And not a widely supported one, either.

                            First thing you always do is run the current version, not an old version. That's two years of drivers and updates that you are avoiding. That's bad practice in general to run old versions, and this is a very specific place where it tends to be most pronounced as a problem.

                            That you are considering completely different OSes, but haven't kept the one you have on the current version makes no sense.

                              Is that scanner even supported on Ubuntu? Was that checked before purchasing?

                                    You can't have updated AND be on 16.04. The two mean the opposite things. 16.04 is two years old. 16.10 replaced it, then 17.04 replaced that, then 17.10 replaced that, and 18.04 replaced that in a couple of weeks. You are not updated, LTS means "out of date". That's the purpose of an LTS release, to not be updated.

                                    You are doing something expected to have problems like this. You should start with fixing the known issues, before you start doing crazy things like considering change the operating system completely to an obscure, barely known, poorly supported one.

                                    You might want to leap directly to 18.04 beta, given that you have known driver issues.

                                        The drivers are supported on Ubuntu. The question with those drivers is do they support the L380?

                                          In Fedora this is whats available natively. You usually can use a driver for an older model with the newer version.
                                          EPSON L310 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.13 (Simplified) or EPSON L310 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.13

                                          You really should be using the latest version of Ubuntu especially for driver support.

                                            And just in general. Never run old stuff unless there is a very specific need. It's great that Ubuntu does such a good job of supporting their old releases, but for some reason people use that as an excuse to run Ubuntu poorly in this way all of the time. It's so bad, it's one of the reasons I don't like Ubuntu is because their community has such bad standards and acceptable practices. You basically just assume someone running Ubuntu is going to always do things like this that you'd never accept with a different OS like openSuse, or Fedora.
