Kyocera Scanner not working in any Linux Distro

jiteshpandey · 04-17-2022, 10:28 AM

I have Kyocera Taskalfa 1800 MFP which I am configuring as scanner which is not working in any linux distro (tried with Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch Linux and Debian), although the printer is working fine. Although sane website is showing nothing like this printer I have downloaded the sane library for scanner from the official website but whenever I try to run scanner (using scanimage or xsane), the printer awakes and the program (or command) shows the error scanimage: open of device kyocera_gdi_a3:libusb:001:019 failed: Invalid argument.

The things I have already tried are, tried changing the permission of library in sane (libsane_kyocera_gdi_a3) as well as usb manually and through udev. I have tried to debug using

Code:

SANE_KYOCERA_GDI_A3=255 scanimage

with no success.

Also tried using strace but I got nothing from it the main part of it is posting along with which I suppose is the reason

Code:

I am getting desperate as nothing is working with me.

Is this the manufacturer's Kyocera_SANE_v1.1.0228.zip Linux Scanner driver?

you can select here your printer and linux driver download, although I have no idea if you have made it already
this error message looks like a compatibility issue (or config?) not a simple permission.
did you try to get official support?

@allend, your link is incorrect, here is it again:

Thanks for so quick reply. Tried both of the drivers you cannot make it run

Interesting; especially since you said you already HAD it working previously:
https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...er-4175666690/

...with having pretty much the same error you posted three years ago. Just a different USB port.

Yes that was working with deleting default udev config file but now nothing is working again

in that case it is probably an udev rule related issue. The official installation should set it up correctly, but we have no any information about that, so cannot help on that.

So is there any way I can find out whats the library is trying to access which I can modify in order to make it work

pan64 · 04-19-2022, 12:27 AM

libusb:001:019 this is what the library trying to access, but it is not a valid/usable device.

jiteshpandey · 04-19-2022, 07:54 AM

And how to make is usable/valid

Since you claim to have had this working in the past, have you gone through those steps again??? And have you just tried plugging this in to a different USB port?? Maybe a USB 2 port, instead of 3 or vice/versa?? 4
