Scanner Divers install
Have just upgraded to Linux 17 and now my Scanner will not work!
Scanner is an Epson PERFECTION V330 PHOTO. Need to install the correct drivers, I have tried myself but seem to get knowhere, I'm a rookie when it comes to computers. Please can someone offer to help guide me through this as I am not now sure what to do, in easy to understand stages please. Thanks. |
there is no operating system called " Linux 17 "
now there is a Mint 17 or a dead and unsupported Fedora 17 |
I must admit, I read as mint 17
I didn't want to post since I have no answer It has been a long time since I needed (wanted) to scan something Back in those days I manual installed "sane", after tweaking it worked .. but that was LFS ( Linux From Scratch ) Sorry, I can't offer much advice .. no scanner .. Anyway, since no longer on zero-reply I would start here http://www.sane-project.org/ BUT , things may have changed .. Can anyone else with scanner experience fill in gaps? |
Not knowing which distribution of Linux you actually have, the first thing I would suggest is to open a terminal and type: xsane, then hit the Enter key and see what happens. Make sure the printer/scanner is plugged in an turned on before doing this.

Checked that "sane" was installed and yes it was. Then installed the following in the following order: iscan-data_1.29.0-2_all.deb iscan_2.29.3-1~usb0.1.ltdl7_i386.deb esci-interpreter-perfection-v330_0.2.0-1_i386.deb And Bingo all up and running. Thanks all. |
