Epson L350 scanner won't start
1 Attachment(s)
After a new install, I can't get the scanner working on my Epson L350. 2 days ago, it was working.
Following the instructions, I first ran sudo apt-get install lsb I installed the driver (this one has the date 26.02.2018 so I chose it): Quote:
epkowa.conf epson.conf and epson2.conf lsusb shows this: Quote:
I set the values in all of the above .conf files to: usb 04b8:08a1 If I run xsane, it takes a very long time, then I get: 'failed to open, device busy' or something. (See screenshot) Any tips please? This was working 2 days ago before a reinstall. I only changed this because the ssd drive I put in 6 months ago went bad, I lost my database. I'm sure if I put it back, the scanner would work. |
The scanner driver package for the L350 comes from here
http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/se...search/?OSC=LX *Search for the L350 model, and download iscan-bundle-1.0.4.x64.deb.tar.gz. Follow the instructions here... https://exain.wordpress.com/tag/l210/ Make sure that the epkowa driver is uncommented in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf, although the installer should have taken care of this for you. The epson epson2 drivers should remain commented (you don't want conflicts). Can you detect your scanner? Code:
scanimage -L Code:
groups |
No, scanimage -L finds nothing, but sane-find-scanner finds it!!
I am the only user, and I can print! Wouldn't that be lp group?? This is the /etc/sane.d/dll.d/iscan.dpkg.new Quote:
I am a member of lpadmin, would that be enough? The thing is, before I changed my hd, all this worked without a hitch. Quote:

The L350 model is also supported by the epkowa driver as far as I understand. The CUPS usb backend relies on ACL permissions so no group required, but SANE udev rules assign ‘lp’ group for USB-connected scanners.
|
If ‘sane-find-scanner’ finds the scanner when run as user then not a permissions issue. It might be interesting to note what is reported by the kernel when it is first plugged in to a USB port
Code:
dmesg|tail |
How do I add myself to group lp??
Just plugged the usb cable in: Quote:

I just commented out epson.conf and epson2.conf, just left epkowa.conf usb uncommented on the line where it says usb.
xsane takes a very long time, then sends the message, well, see the screenshot. Which argument is invalid?? |
Epson Printers have a waste ink counter. When it gets to 100%, they stop working, although there is nothing wrong. There is a Vietnamese guy who sells reset keys for $7.50. You can download his program for Linux wicreset.
On his page, http://www.2manuals.com/forum/index....y-under-linux/ was this useful info: add current user to lp Quote:

I ran wicreset. The first time it could not find the printer, told me to switch it off, then on again, then click continue. The second time, it worked. I ran a nozzle check and checked the waste ink counter. After this, xsane starts quickly with no problem!!! How or why is for the Gods to say, I'm just glad it works!! |
As a side note, on my new laptop the same procedure does not work! I just get: no devices available.

Good to read of your progress with adding the user to the 'lp' group. With respect to your new laptop, again run demsg to see what is reported. Some scanners don't play well with USB 3.0 (XHCI) ports.
