Hello:
I also use various Epson Perfection Vxxx scanners in openSUSE. I never used yast to configure the scanners. You reported that sane-find-scanner found the scanner and scanimage -L listed it as a working device. In my systems (from 11.x-13.2) this was enough for the scanners to work. Does your scanning application (kooka, xsane, sane) see the scanner?
Could you please send the exact link of the driver you downloaded? I would like to try it in Leap 42.2 too.
Thanks,
Istvan
Hi Istvan, thanks for your interest in this problem.
Here is the link that you requested:
http://support.epson.net/linux/en/iscan_c.php?version=1.0.4
Some information to help you understand the issue: I don't kneed to use yast to install the scanner, I was using yast to try and figure out why the scanner wasn't working after installing the iscan bundle that includes the driver epkowa.
My new computer is a dual boot OS 42.2 and Win7. The scanner works with win7, but not with 42.2. My old computer is set up the same way as a multiboot 42.2 and win7, and the scanner works on both win7 and 42.2. The linux software is the same iscan bundle 1.0.4.x64 driver download.
OK, it seems I misundertsood the problem. If you have a successful installation in Leap 42.2 on another hardware it means that the problem is not a missing component of the scanner program/driver.
The issue seems to be USB software in the new motherboard.Please look at this bug for pertinent information:
https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=975866
The scanner isn't recognized by these programs: iscan, Simple Scan, scanlight, xsane, and Vuescan (I believe Vuescan uses a different driver than epkowa). It does this using both the usb2 or usb3 ports on the motherboard of the new computer.
I had similar experience before in openSUSE 13.2, see: USB scanner problem in openSUSE 13.2 https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2014-12/msg00556.html In that case the problem was USB3 and USB3 xhci driver if I recall correctly. The only solution I found was disabling USB3 in BIOS. I am not sure using different USB slot (USB2 instead USB3) has the same effect as disabling USB3 completely in BIOS. Do you see this error message in dmesg after plugging in the scanner: [opensuse] rounding interval to 128 microframes, ep desc says 255 microframes - any fix? https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2015-01/msg00415.html I had no time yet to try my scanner in Leap 42.2 in a USB3 capable computer, but I am planning to do it.
