I just plugged in my Epson Perfection 3170 Photo scanner. This is the second scanner that doesn't 'Just work' in Linux. Two in one week! :-O I just can't believe it.
It shows up in sane-find-scanner for root (not for my user) and does not show in scanimage -L or sudo scanimage -L
sudo sane-find-scanner
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x0116 [EPSON Scanner]) at libusb:001:005
scanimage -L
No scanners were identified.
What gives? How can I get the scanner to show up in scanimage?
Like I said in my last thread, I have no idea how scanning works on Linux so any and all help is greatly appreciated.
what are the permissions? from root instance of sane-find-scanner # You may want to run this program as root to find all devices. # Once you found the scanner devices, be sure to adjust access # permissions as necessary.
just guessing, you/user does not have permissions to access libusb:001:005
It doesn't work as root either
sudo scanimage -L
No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different, check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
