I successfully used my Epson flatbed scanner not that long ago but this morning it cannot find the scanner.
I'm a member of both lp and scanner groups. Running scanimage -L produces nothing and does not return to the shell prompt so I kill the process. sane-find-scanner returns: could not fetch string descriptor: Pipe error could not fetch string descriptor: Pipe error found USB scanner (vendor=0x2e04, product=0xc025) at libusb:001:017 found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x011c [EPSON Scanner]) at libusb:001:019 # Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage. /etc/sane.d/epson.conf hasn't changed. I've used this scanner with various Slackware versions for years. There are many threads in this issue on the Web but none has a recommendation or solution that works here. What should I check next?
