>From what I can tell, actually the escl buggy driver affects a wide range of Brother, Canon, Epson, HP, Ricoh, Xerox, apple-protocol scanners ......, although Mick reported his specific scanner, indications from sane devs and from debian bugs and other anecdotes suggest 'escl' 1.0.29 problems rather more widespread.
I really do think this is a special (and important) case for an LTS- distro, as MANY scanner manufacturers have taken up the airscan protocol and this provides a much easier scanning integration than lots of the individual protocols that came before. I do think this is doing a serious dis-service to Ubuntu LTS users, not to even modify the packages to produce a Warning message pointing at the correct fix, when escl module gets used, even if no extra package formally in focal. I do think it would be fair to get input from sane-devs etc... they too may be able to clarify how wide-spread issues are. I appreciate this may need to be looked at after Groovy released and after escl/airscan modules a bit further matured, etc, but I do strongly suspect not attending to this in some manner is going to perpetuate an increasing usability-headache, lots of duplicate bug reports, and so-on, throughout the life of focal LTS. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1897962 Title: Out of Memory Error with Brother DCP-J7720W To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sane-backends/+bug/1897962/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
