Hi there, I uninstalled the ugly workaround and purged the zesty packages sane, libsane, xsane, scanner drivers, and all the bells and whistles; reinstalled libsane1 1.0.27-1~experimental2ubuntu2.1, sane, xsane, simple-scan, Brother and Epson drivers with no issues. In short: the Epson 4490 Photo scanner doesn't work at all, the Brother MDC-1910W scanner only works as root. In details:
Epson 4490 Photo as user sane-find-scanner detects a bunch of USB devices including the scanner, but has not enough permission scanimage -l no SANE devices found iscan, simple-scan, and xsane do not work Epson 4490 Photo as root sane-find-scanner ok scanimage -l no SANE devices found iscan, simple-scan, and xsane do not work Brother MFC-1910W as user sane-find-scanner detects a bunch of USB devices including the scanner, but has not enough permission scanimage -l no SANE devices found simple-scan and xsane do not work Brother MFC-1910W as root sane-find-scanner ok scanimage -l ok simple-scan ok xsane ok -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1707352 Title: the change from libsane to libsane1 broke many (all?) 3rd party plug- ins for sane To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sane-backends/+bug/1707352/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
