Question Dell E515dw Multifunction printer is not recognised as scanner on RedHat 7


I have a Dell E515dw Multifunction printer connected to RedHat 7 machine.

I can print without any issues.
Alas, I'm unable to get the scanning to work.

$ sudo sane-find-scanner | grep 'found USB scanner'
found USB scanner (vendor=0x413c [Dell], product=0x590c [MFP]) at libusb:001:010
$ lsusb | grep Dell
Bus 001 Device 010: ID 413c:590c Dell Computer Corp.

I added the above data to the following files in /etc/sane.d/ (dell.conf was created by me):

$ grep 590c /etc/sane.d/genesys.conf
usb 0x413c 0x590c
$ grep 590c /etc/sane.d/dell.conf
usb 0x413c 0x590c

But:

$ sudo 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).

Probably need to research what version of sane-backends supports your scanner. Red Hat and CentOS use ancient versions of sane-backends. Click on "supported devices"" http://www.sane-project.org/
