My scanner -- Epson Perfection V550 Photo -- is suddenly not detected : |
2 |
when I enter 'xsane' (via the menu or Alt-F2), it says "no devices available". |
3 |
|
4 |
I last used it without any problem 180626. |
5 |
Since then, I've updated my kernel & some other pkgs. |
6 |
I've checked the USB physical connection ; the scanner 'ready' light is on. |
7 |
I've remerged 'xsane' & 'sane-backends' & rebooted. |
8 |
|
9 |
Following my notes, I've done : |
10 |
|
11 |
root:500 ~> sane-find-scanner |
12 |
... |
13 |
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x013b [EPSON Scanner]) at libusb:001:004 |
14 |
# Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. |
15 |
# It may or may not be supported by SANE. |
16 |
# Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage. |
17 |
root:501 ~> scanimage -L |
18 |
device `epkowa:interpreter:001:004' is a Epson Perfection V550 Photo flatbed scanner |
19 |
|
20 |
The first time I ran these commands (I don't remember which), |
21 |
the scanner itself made the noises it usually does when starting. |
22 |
|
23 |
This model needs a driver which is not included in 'sane-backends' |
24 |
& which I downloaded from Nvidia & installed when I got the scanner 2017. |
25 |
The 'epkowa' driver is installed : |
26 |
|
27 |
root:505 ~> locate epkowa |
28 |
/etc/sane.d/epkowa.conf |
29 |
/usr/lib64/sane/libsane-epkowa.la |

My user is a member of the 'scanner' group : |

I am puzzled : does anyone have a suggestion what to do next ? |
