Configure Scanner in Ubuntu
Hello All,
I'm having trouble configuring a scanner. I have an Epson Workforce 500 (MFP). I can print fine but Ubuntu does not recognize the scanner. I've tried installing "pipslite1.4.0" from http://www.avasys.jp/lx-bin2/linux_e/spc/DL1.do. Also i was required to load libltdl3 in order for the pipslite install package to work. However I'm having no luck. Is it possible to use this scanner in linux? Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks, |

Thanks for the reply. Actually i have installed the print driver, and printing works great for this printer. I also have xSane Image Scanning Software v 0.996. However when launched, i receive the message "No devices available".

Additional info:
When I run $ sane-find-scanner from the terminal I receive the following results: found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8, product=0x084c) at libusb:001:004 found USB scanner (vendor=0x0483, product=0x2016) at libusb:002:004 |

When I get a chance I will install xsane on my laptop and do some testing. |
I added my user to the scanner group, but no luck, and when I run sudo xsane from the terminal, I receive a stern warning... then same message; "no devices available".
