Nothing has helped so far.
I just installed 12.3 in a VM and connected my scanner. It works! 13.1. Problem comes back.
Is iscan installed in 12.3 and from what repo? zypper se -s iscan As Carlos already mentioned this probably needs proprietary driver. http://support.epson.net/linux/en/iscan_c.html There seems to be a build project for it that is up to date although not tumbleweed (no gcc49-c++) https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:awissu:NonFree/iscan Some pointers https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/493559-Scanning-software https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1052521
Ubuntu 10 in a VM also finds my scanner and works out the box. Ubuntu 17.10 does not. Same problem.
I am trying to find out what the differences are between the odler OSes and the newer ones. I cannot see why they would remove compatibility?
This is a very good quality negative scanner. I cannot find another model of the same quality (that isn't more expensive than buying windows) so it is imperative I find a solution (other than downgrading to an older linux).
Can anyone suggest some diagnostic steps? Any log files that could be useful?
I have no idea how scanners work in linux so I am currently stumped.
