Problem with installation of scanner after upgrading to Ubuntu 16.04

[ahmed50]

Hello,

after upgrading to Ubuntu 16.04 , i couldn't install the driver for my Panasonic KXMB1500 scanner anymore.

when i try to install, i get the message:

Cannot find SANE lib path

this is the link of the driver: http://panasonic.net/pcc/support/fax/common/table/linuxdriver.html
i downloaded and tried to install: "panamfs-scan-1.3.0-x86_64.tar.gz"

I'd appreciate any help,

greetings,

[T.J.]

Did you verify that libsane is installed?

Quick and easy way:

sudo apt-get install libsane

Just solved this issue on Ubuntu 16.04
the script can't find the folder, so you have 2 options, modify the script, or make as I did, just copy that folder,

sudo cp -a /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane /usr/lib/sane

now you can install the driver. Good luck.

A link will be more resilient than a copy. It still solves the problem.

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane/ /usr/lib/sane

The Panasonic PanasonicMFSpushd app also needs

sudo apt-get install libusb-0.1-4
