I've bought a Epson L3110 all in one printer. Before i did this I checked whether there were drivers available on epson.com (and there are).
Why this printer you ask? Well, we live in the middel of nowhere on Madagascar, not much choice.
Anyway, after installing and (in konsole) sane-find-scanner I get this:
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x1142 [L3110 Series]) at libusb:003:008
Then scanimage -L
device `imagescan:esci:usb:/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb3/3-6/3-6:1.0' is a EPSON L3110_Series
However, when I open the Epson programme imagescan I get this:
Cannot access EPSON L3110_Series
(esci:usb:/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb3/3-6/3-6:1.0)
device busy
I run Kubuntu 16:04, kde Plasma 5.14, kernel 4.4.0-142 with libsane 1.0.27.
According to http://download.ebz.epson.net/faq/li..._ls_00017.html This can be a solution (but it did not work):
After Image Scan v3 or Image Scan for Linux installlation is completed,
The scanner driver may fails to start or scan.
When using our scanner driver, we recommend that you do the following
(Disable other SANE backends).
- Edit /etc/sane.d/dll.conf with administrator authority.
- Add '#' to the following line in the setting file.
epson2
epsonds
I tried adding
scsi "EPSON L3118"
usb 0x04b8 0x1142
in /etc/sane.d/epson2.conf
This makes xsane a little happy as it sees the scanner. But when I scan I get this message:
failed to start scanner: error during device i/o
I'm a bit out of ideas. Tried sudo aswell but no luck.
Hopefully someone has some bright ideas for me?
P.s.: It might take a while for me to respond due to bad internet.
