Dear All,
I was able to print out-of-the-box with a Lexmark X203n on my LMDE system, but I am not able to scan. Lexmark seems to have a Network Scan function, but I cannot connect the printer to the router. In the geography of my tiny apartment, is either USB or nothing.
I have followed the instructions in the thread, including creating the file "/etc/udev/rules.d/45-libsane.rules" and adding the following line to it:
Code: Select all
# Lexmark X203n
SYSFS{idVendor}=="043d", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0149", MODE="666", GROUP="scanner"
When I try "sudo-sane-find-scanner" I get the following output:
Code: Select all
# sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the
# result is different from what you expected, first make sure your
# scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.
# No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that
# you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.

# Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by

# can't be detected by this program.
However, neither Xsane nor Simple Scan are able to communicate with the scanner. Any ideas?
This is particularly frustrating because this multifunctional was expressly indicated as linux-supported (they even printed a Tux in the side of the box!!!).
