But no epkowa backend listed in > dll.conf. As I stated in dll.conf epson and epson2 are uncommented. You probably have a /etc/sane/dll.d/epkowa.conf that adds it to the list of backends to use. Otherwise, scanimage wouldn't try to load it. > $ locate epkowa > /etc/sane.d/epkowa.conf > /usr/lib/sane/libsane-epkowa.la > /usr/lib/sane/libsane-epkowa.so.1 This (libsane-epkowa.so.1) is the file I would have expected to be loaded. I am clueless as to why this is not getting loaded so let's crank up the debugging level for the dll backend. The following command is going to fail as before but I want to see what the dll backend is doing when it is looking for the epkowa backend, so sudo SANE_DEBUG_DLL=127 scanimage -L 2>&1 | tee log # If there's a lot of output, please attach the log file instead of # pasting the output into your reply. > /usr/lib/sane/libsane-epkowa.so.1.0.15 > /usr/share/iscan-data/epkowa.desc > /usr/share/man/man5/sane-epkowa.5.gz > > --------------------------------------------------- > I have copied some of the contents of the epkowa.conf in case some aspects > need to be uncommented? > > [...] Your epkowa.conf looks fine. > Hope this is all the info you needed.

Now apart from providing more information, you can try to "force" the dll backend to find the epkowa backend with $ sudo LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:/usr/lib/sane SANE_DEBUG_DLL=127 scanimage -L 2>&1 | tee log2 Please attach the log2 file.
