I recently bought a PRINK PRIMA ECO casue Linux was a supported OS. I got the drivers from its website and managed to install the printer, so far so good.
Problems started when I tried to install the scanner: their instrucctions weren't complete and the bash script that installs has to be fixed.
I managed to "install" it and sane find the scanner:
Code: Select all
# sane-find-scanner
# 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.
found USB scanner (vendor=0x2bb4 [PRINK], product=0x0002 [PRINKMFP2]) at libusb:002:005
# Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by
# SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.
# Not checking for parallel port scanners.
# Most Scanners connected to the parallel
Code: Select all
# 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).
