http://ubuntuforums.org – Hi There, I've been trying to get my Epson Stylus SX420W to scan to my laptop. It has done this successfully before, and I believe I have all the relevant drivers installed. Yet it has stopped being able to scan to the laptop except using VueScan, which is proprietary and watermarks images. The output of sane-find-scanner is: Code: found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8, product=0x0864) at libusb:002:002 Yet scanimage -L and xsane report that there is no scanner in place. The printer still works however. This leads me to suspect that the issue is that the printer drivers do not lo (Hardware)

I recently upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10 and since then I havent gotten my scanner to work. The latest iscan-packages are installed and sane seems to find my scanner but despite that the following error messages appears in xsane and iscan.

Hello,

Ever since I switched to Ubuntu 12.04 the scanner on my Epson Stylus NX230 won't work. At the same time I started running lUbutntu because the regular version is too fancy for my crappy old computer. The scanner used to work when I had whatever version I had before, but now when I try to scan an image using either Scanner Utility or Simple Scan it says no scanner is connected.

Hello,

I have a multifunction printer PIXMA MG2250 from which I successfully processed printer tasks, thanks to this forum, but still the scan is not recognized, not even detected by scangearmp even if I have installed some mp drivers of the MGseries range; Would somebody have an idea to fix this problem?

thanks in advance

I have a Brother MFC-7345 printer/scanner and I got the printer working but the scanner just won't work on Fedora 11, I've been to the Brother Linux support site and nothing they're saying to do works. When I type sane-find-scanner i get

I have a Fujitsu ScanSnap S1300i. I compiled SANE from source. When I run sane-find-scanner, the following output is given:

sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the result is different from what you expected, first make sure your scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer. No SCSI scanners found.

I have SANE and SANE-scanner installed in my Ubuntu 12.04 box. I have an Epson V500 flatbed scanner, tied by USB to my machine. On my network I also have an HP All-in-One that has scanner functionality. Both are detected by the computer as scanners. I want to always use the Epson scanner but can't find a way to tell SANE-scanner to use the (second listed) Epson scanner.

Below you can download the scanner driver for Epson Stylus NX515 multifunction printer series. This is the Epson NX515 scanner driver version 3.76 available for Windows 7, Xp and Vista. This file contains the Epson Stylus NX510 Series EPSON Scan Utility and Scanner Driver (TWAIN) v3.76.

I have just got around to installing my scanner and followed this thread to the letter and nothing is working.

here is what I get when I do sane-find-scanner

I would buy this scanner (Epson Perfection V30). I know it works with proprietary drivers and for me it's ok if they work good.

I'd like to know if you recommend it as my new scanner. Does The Image Scan application have all the XSane features?
