Hey everyone! I just realized that I've just spent 3 hours on trying to install my Epson Perfection 3170, without success. Maybe you guys can help me...
Here's what I did: 1) Download iscan_2.10.0-1.tar.gz from http://www.avasys.jp/lx-bin2/linux_e/scan/DL2.do 2) untar, configure --with-pic, make, checkinstall 3) Test -- scanner not found: > ingo at ingo-e6400:~$ sane-find-scanner -q > found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x0116 [EPSON Scanner]) at > libusb:002:072 > > ingo at ingo-e6400:~$ sudo 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). Some more tests, I performed: > ingo at ingo-e6400:~$ ls /dev/ | grep scanner > ingo at ingo-e6400:~$ ls /dev/ -1 | grep usb > usbmon0 > usbmon1 > usbmon2 > usbmon3 > usbmon4 > usbmon5 > usbmon6 > usbmon7 > usbmon8 > > ingo at ingo-e6400:~$ sudo scanimage -d epkowa:/dev/bus/usb/002/072 > scanimage: open of device epkowa:/dev/bus/usb/002/072 failed: Invalid argument > ingo at ingo-e6400:~$ sudo scanimage -d epkowa:libusb:002:072 > scanimage: open of device epkowa:libusb:002:072 failed: Invalid argument > > ingo at ingo-e6400:~$ uname -r > 2.6.31-19-generic > > ingo at ingo-e6400:~$ ls -l /usr/lib/sane/libsane-epkowa.* > lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 2010-03-20 19:25 /usr/lib/sane/libsane-epkowa.a -> > /usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-epkowa.a > lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 2010-03-20 19:25 /usr/lib/sane/libsane-epkowa.la -> > /usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-epkowa.la > lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 2010-03-20 19:25 /usr/lib/sane/libsane-epkowa.so -> > /usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-epkowa.so > lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 2010-03-20 19:25 /usr/lib/sane/libsane-epkowa.so.1 > -> /usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-epkowa.so.1 > lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 44 2010-03-20 19:25 > /usr/lib/sane/libsane-epkowa.so.1.0.15 -> > /usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-epkowa.so.1.0.15 > > ingo at ingo-e6400:~$ file /usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-epkowa.so.1.0.15 > /usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-epkowa.so.1.0.15: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, > x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, stripped > > ingo at ingo-e6400:~$ cat /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules | grep 0116 > ATTRS{idVendor}=="04b8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0116", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes" > > ingo at ingo-e6400:~$ cat /etc/sane.d/epkowa.conf > usb 0x04b8 0x0116 > usb /dev/bus/usb/002/072 > > ingo at ingo-e6400:~$ cat /etc/sane.d/dll.conf | grep epkowa > epkowa First observation: the device node is not created. Is that a problem? How can I now why it is not created? Then, scanimage doesn't find the scanner, neither does it want to work with the device node under /dev/bus/usb/002/072. Am I doing this right? Any further hints or ways I can obtain more information, why it's not working? I'd really appriciate it!
