"Today I managed to bring back my dead Epson V300 alive :-)

1. Install libsane1 1.0.27-1~experimental2ubuntu2.1

2. Install iscan-gt-f720-bundle-1.0.1.x64.deb.tar.gz

3. Copy (or move) the files from /usr/lib/sane (libsane-epkowa.la, libsane-epkowa.so.1, libsane-epkowa.so.1.0.15 in my case) to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane"

Please forgive my ignorance.

I assume that I need to add a PPA to get to libsane1 1.0.27-1~experimental2ubuntu2.1. What is the apt command for this?

Having added the PPA, what then is the apt command to install libsane1 1.0.27-1~experimental2ubuntu2.1

Also, is iscan-gt-f720-bundle-1.0.1.x64.deb.tar.gz scanner specific? I think that I have been using iscan-gt-x770-bundle-1.0.1.x64.deb.tar.gz for my Epson Perfection V500.

Any help would be much appreciated.
