I need to load driver for Epson Perfection 4180 Scanner

The scanner doesn't seem to have an easy to load driver that I can get at the Epson site. The options that are available seem to need to be installed at the terminal prompt. I am lost at that point. The files that are available for download are:

Perfection 4180… Scanner Driver Linux latest for gcc 3.2/3.3 All language 12-21-2011
Perfection 4180… Scanner Driver Linux latest for gcc 3.4 or later All language 12-21-2011
Perfection 4180… Scanner Driver Linux latest iscan plugin package for gcc 3.2/3.3 All language 12-21-2011
Perfection 4180… Scanner Driver Linux latest iscan plugin package for gcc 3.4 or later All language 12-21-2011

I am confused on which of these files I need.

None of those will work. They are only offering Fedora/RedHat drivers and tar.gx binaries. Thus you are not provided a driver you can install correctly from that website.

Please direct your complaints to Epson for the disgraceful way they are treating Ubuntu users by not providing drivers.
