This scanner is not supported by any of the SANE project's backends. It is, however, supported by the third party epkowa backend when used with a non-free interpreter module. For the necessary packages, go to: http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/?OSC=LX and search for CX5600 (without the hyphen). This should give a list with printer and scanner driver modules. The scanner driver modules are at the bottom of the list. You will need all of the following: iscan-2.30.1-1usb0.1.ltdl7 iscan-data-1.36.0-1 iscan-plugin-cx4400-2.1.3-1 Download the RPMs for your architecture and install all three together via the command-line. Something like this should work: sudo yum install iscan-*.rpm This will pull in any uninstalled dependencies for you. After this has completed without any problems, reconnect the USB cable (or powercycle) and you should be able to scan. Check with scanimage -L to see if the device is listed. If not, try with sudo scanimage -L If only the latter works, you should check the Fedora documentation for the access policies on scanners. Note: The above packages have not been tested with Fedora 22.
