Installing a vendor printer driver is likely the issue. See

Hello list, and my apologies for taking so long to answer. Getting
anything done with the mental and logistic mess created by the
pandemic is not easy.
About the scanner: it works now, thanks to your suggestions, but in a
messed up environment, so to speak. When I try to print or scan, the
system reports two printers, or two scanner, as you can see in the
attachment if the list server allows it. Simple-scan sees Epson
XP-400_Series and Epson XP-4100_Series (USB 1), and two printers are
listed, EPSON_XP_4100_Series-USB-1 and EPSON_XP_4100_Series-USB_1_
In both cases, only the second device works. Scanning with (command
built with your help, see original thread):
scanimage -d
'imagescan:esci:usb:/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:12.2/usb1/1-6/1-6:1.0'
works fine.
What bugs me, is that IIRC the number of devices depends on whether
the printer is on, off or idle when the computer boots, or vice-versa
What next? I mean, I can print and scan but would of course like to
a) clean up this confusion, and be sure I am using both printer and
scanner at the best of its capabilities...
Hi Marco,
To scan them, I advise you to disable the backend that you do not use
lists the scanners and backends that support them
$ scanimage -L
To disable a backend, you just have to comment it in the file
/etc/sane.d/dll.conf or in the folder /etc/sane.d/dll.d/xxxx

b) possibly... attach the device as is to the USB port of my modem, so
it becomes accessible to my hwhole home network, if this doesn't mean
to run it at lower resolution, or similar.
Marco
