It seems that you're using a multifunction printer. Try this link (http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=627471) it might help.

in my experience, epsons work better with guttenprint than cups. it's in the repos.

Guys, any idea why my Epson CX5500 scanner unable to work in Xsane when my Ubuntu is 12.04 64 bits? Previously I was using Ubuntu 12.04 TS 32 bits why I follow all the instruction posted in the web page but still failed. I though maybe because of my Epson CX5500 scanner not working at 32 bit Ubuntu, hence I change Ubuntu 12.04 TS to 64 bits.

Now still my Epson CX5500 scanner doesn't work at 12.04 TS 64 bit, and I follow all the instruction posted in the web, google search as many I can still doesn't making my scanner work at Xsane. I already run out of idea. I though Epson CX5500 is the best scanner but it just not support in the stupid sane , xsane version.

below is the message after I type 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).


why I type sudo sane-find-scanner, it does able to find the scanner:



found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [Language Error], product=0x083f [Language Error]) at libusb:006:003


I don't know what the hell is going on. I have installed iscan 2.28.1 version, also edit the
/etc/sane.d/dll.conf to read as epkowa, don't know why still xsane cannot find my scanner. Anyone can help me?
