Hi, Yesterday I upgraded to Ubuntu 20.10 and I can't use my scanner anymore. My (Canon N670U) was (and is?) supported for a very long time, but now scanimage -L doesn't return the scanner (and therefore xsane does not find it):
$ scanimage -L No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different, check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages). sane-find-scanner however, *does* find my scanner on the USB port: $ sane-find-scanner # sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the # result is different from what you expected, first make sure your # scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer. # No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that # you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter. found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9 [Canon], product=0x220d [CanoScan], chip=LM9832/3) at libusb:001:013 # Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage. Sane versions in 20.10: libsane: 0.31-2 xsane: 0.999-9 So, who's right and who's wrong? And more important: how can I fix it? Martin -- If 'but' was any useful, it would be a logic operator
