Hi,

I have exactly the same scanner. It works perfectly in Mageia with  
iscan/sane drivers.

You should install the packages that can be downloaded from this page:

http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/searchModule

Just enter "v330 photo" into search field and choose "Linux".

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Yuri

P.S. Epson supports Linux.
