My Epson V350 scanner worked fine with ubuntu 10.04 and iscan, but it's hiding from the latest iscan on debian 7, giving "Could not send command to scanner. Check the scanner's status."
It has power, and the steady green status LED indicates "Ready to scan". The iscan version is from the latest iscan-bundle-1.0.0.x86.deb downloaded from http://support.epson.net/linux/en/iscan_c.html today. The USB connection & scanner interface are OK: $ lsusb Bus 001 Device 002: ID 04b8:012f Seiko Epson Corp. Perfection V350 (GT-F700) Trying to probe a bit more: # sane-find-scanner ... found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x012f [EPSON Scanner]) at libusb:001:002 ... Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage. ... The latter doesn't work, because the V350 isn't supported by Xsane, but that wasn't an issue for iscan, AFAIR. (It is, after all, specifically for Epson scanners.) $ groups erik cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev scanner bluetooth netdev +++++++ It would be damned convenient if I could manage to scan a few documents in the next few days, so any ideas on this or alternative apps would hit a dry spot. The debian gui "Simple Scan" clicky-thing says "No scanners detected". Multiple google hits suggest it is also a Sane front-end. Erik (Back to the intertubes, for more inspiration. There has to be something out there.) _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] https://lists.luv.asn.au/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/luv-main
