hi Thierry, thanks for the instructions, all mentioned steps done, but when i open xsane from Gimp (File:Create:XSane:"Device dialog..."), after "scanning for devices", i'm getting this: Gimp Message Plug-in crashed: "xsane" (/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/xsane/xsane) The dying plug-in may have messed up GIMP's internal state. You may want to save your images and restart GIMP to be on the safe side.
so what do you think i could do for checking out what is going wrong here, perhaps like getting logs, running specific tools, some configuration, etc.? thanks in advance, Paulo On 5/6/21, Thierry Huchard <[email protected]> wrote: > Le 2021-05-06 17:07, Paulo Silva a écrit : >> hi! >> >> it seems that the scanner from Epson ET-2711 ( >> https://www.epson.co.uk/products/printers/inkjet-printers/for-home/ecotank-et-2711 >> ) is still not supported out of the box >> >> i can't enter at sane's irc (totally forgot what is nickserv register >> about and stuff like that...), so i'm answering here what >> http://www.sane-project.org/mailing-lists.html asks: >> >> "scanimage --version" says: >> scanimage (sane-backends) 1.0.31-debian; backend version 1.0.31 >> >> "lsb_release -a" says: >> LSB >> Version: >> core-11.1.0ubuntu2-noarch:printing-11.1.0ubuntu2-noarch:security-11.1.0ubuntu2-noarch >> Distributor ID: Ubuntu >> Description: Ubuntu 20.10 >> Release: 20.10 >> Codename: groovy >> >> "lsusb | grep Epson" says: >> Bus 003 Device 004: ID 04b8:1143 Seiko Epson Corp. >> >> so, i'm curious to know how soon is this scanner going to be >> supported, and on what can we help for that... >> > > Hi Paulo, > > If you want to use it in resins you have several options: > 1 - Update sane > sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sane-project/sane-git > sudo apt-get update > sudo apt install libsane libsane1 libsane-common sane-utils > > 2 - Install sane-airscan > 3 - Install espon drivers > http://support.epson.net/linux/en/epsonscan2.php > > For USB : > 1 - Install espon drivers > http://support.epson.net/linux/en/epsonscan2.php > 2 - Install ipp-usb and use sane-airscan or sane-escl > > Thierry > >> thanks in advance, >> Paulo >
