@staedtler-przyborski -- Thanks!! It worked for my V500. Now BOTH the WF-3540 scanner and V500 are working as well as ever. scanimage -L finds them both; and iscan, simplescan, and xsane run them.
Good work! I'm guessing there's a lot of old driver install debs out in the world that are putting their stuff into /usr/lib/sane instead of into /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane which seems to be the current "proper" place. Since those installers are not likely to be rebuilt, the next best solution would be for sane to look in /user/lib/sane if it fails to find what it's looking for in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane. -- 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
