I do appreciate this very much, and learned from it :) Indeed for my mainboard (ASUS Z170 deluxe) all USB buses are handled by xhci_hcd. Reading through the links you gave I decided to first give the updated sane-backends version 1.0.25 from the graphics project a try. With this (and the default kernel, 4.1.20-11-default) scanimage -L detects my scanner (and returns without a timeout, and also works for additional repeats). Then I tried xsane, which can (so far) perfectly use the scanner for preview and normal scans. A kernel update seems not to be needed. Thanks again, Peter -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

It worked perfectly with my older computer, and when I attached it to a newer computer that I built, the driver Epkowa doesn't recognize the scanner. I installed various versions of the iscan-bundle up to 1.0.4, but none of them allow Epkowa driver to recognize the scanner. I also tried using the demo version of Vue-Scan, but it also reports that it can't recognize any scanner. I have tried versions 1.0.24, 1.0.25, and 1.0.27 of sane-backends, and these haven't worked to allow the scanner to be recognized by yast. I have tried to use the USB workaround, but that didn't allow the scanner to work. The computer is a dual-boot with Win7, and the scanner works well with Win7 and the Epson driver software. My purpose in adding my comment to this thread is in the hope that this will motivate the software writers to fix this bug to once again allow my scanner to be used with my new computer. My new computer that is having the problem with the scanner is built with an i7 3.6 GHZ Kaby Lake processor, and a Gigabyte B250M-DS3H Motherboard. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
