Epson scanner with Tessa 19.1 (Cinnamon 64-bit)

[ClixTrix]

I think Brian and I were both under the impression you had the printer-scanner installed on your network. That's why we were giving advise along that line and why I was helping customize for network install.

FYI.....my networked Epson WF-2760 will also detect and run with Simple Scan and XSane without install of drivers (uses that PID iD). Why? I believe it uses a basic backend that's bundled (and that's what Brian was pointing at). However, when you install Image Scan, I believe that backend is replaced or augmented.

Please run the following commands from Terminal. Make sure the scanner is on and connected to USB.

Code: Select all

lsusb

Code: Select all

sane-find-scanner

ClixTrix and Brian here is what scanimage -L shows from my USB drive

scanimage -L
device `epson2:net:192.168.1.12' is a Epson PID 110C flatbed scanner

[ro82]

And, to answer your earlier question, Brian, the back end (checked with scanimage -L) is "epson2" on my USB drive, where the scanner works fine under SimpleScan.

[ro82]

Brian, another answer to your earlier question:

ClixTrix and Brian here is what scanimage -L shows from my USB drive

scanimage -L
device `epson2:net:192.168.1.12' is a Epson PID 110C flatbed scanner

That does show that the bundled epson2 backend is being used. WIth Image Scan installed and customized for network, it should switch to using the imagescan backend and show something like this (showing my IP and name for my scanner from that .conf file customization I earlier posted).

scanimage -L
device `imagescan:esci:networkscan://192.168.1.102:1865' is a Epson WF-2760

[Pippin]

On 18.3 here, Epson WF-7525 AIO.
All I had to do is install the iscan bundle and add:

Code: Select all

net ip.of.aio.device

to

Code: Select all

/etc/sane.d/epkowa.conf

to make the scan part work with Simple Scan and Image Scan for Linux.
AIO device is given fixed IP.

Thanks, ClixTrix. I am now getting:
scanimage -L
device `imagescan:esci:networkscan://192.168.1.12' is a Epson PID 110C

[ClixTrix]

Thanks, ClixTrix. I am now getting:
scanimage -L
device `imagescan:esci:networkscan://192.168.1.12' is a Epson PID 110C

I assume you decide to stick with PID 110C as the "name" for the printer, as you could of used your model name (per my example) in it's place. It might be a bit confusing in initially selecting the scanner from the scan utilities as that PID 110C is what the other backend uses.

Try it and see if it works.

[ro82]

PID 110C is how SimpleScan identifies the scanner on the USB drive live session, where the scanner works fine.

On my hard drive, both SimpleScan and imagescan 3.50 are recognizing the 110C scanner, seem to start sending, then give me error messages, like this one with imagescan 3.50:
Cannot access Epson PID 110C
(esci:networkscan://192.168.1.12)
//192.168.1.12: error receiving

I have also today tried the 79-udev-epson-rules that was suggested on Clem's Ubuntu forum link about scanner issues with LM 19.1, but with even less positive result.

[ro82]

Thank you, Pippin. I had gone back to LM 18.3 last year to do something like what you suggest. But that command does not work with LM 19.1, nor does the /etc/sane.d/epcowa.conf file exist. And, at that point, it is starting to feel like te deep end of the pool to me...

[ClixTrix]

Please run the following command from Terminal and post back the results.

Code: Select all

cat /etc/imagescan/imagescan.conf

[ro82]

ClixTrix, changing the Epson model designation in imagescan.conf still gives the same error message, even if both imagescan 3.50 and SimpleScan recognize the scanner under the Epson XP-530 model designation.

[ClixTrix]

I'm looking to see if the port number ":1865" that follows the IP address is correct. I've seen that error before with wrong or missing port number on the .conf file.

[ro82]

As I was saying since your last suggestion, ClixTrix:

cat /etc/imagescan/imagescan.conf
# /etc/imagescan/imagescan.conf -- Image Scan configuration
# Refer to the documentation for details on the configuration options
# for the software. Plugins should come with their own documentation
# if they have configuration options.
#
# Lines starting with a # or a ; are comments. Comments must be on a
# line of their own. End-of-line comments are not supported.

myscanner.udi = esci:networkscan://192.168.1.12
myscanner.vendor = Epson
myscanner.model = XP-530

[ClixTrix]

This line.

myscanner.udi = esci:networkscan://192.168.1.12

Should be this with the port number per example.

myscanner.udi = esci:networkscan://192.168.1.12:1865

The port number is essential to communicate with the scanner, as it listens on that port.

[ro82]

Thank you, ClixTrix! And, at the risk having missed the obvious, how do I ascertain the port number, please?

[ro82]

Here are my Epson printer properties, under "Device URI": ipps://EPSON5F56B0.local:631/ipp/print

[ClixTrix]

Actually, it's in the install documentation. When you located the printer at Epson and clicked on the all-in-one package, it takes you to a page where you do "Accept". At the bottom of the expanded page, it shows two PDFs for imagescanv3_man, j=Japanese and e=English. Section 7 explains how to customize the network plugin and explains that the port "must be set to 1865".

Here's a shortcut to the manual.

[brian_p]

ro82,

avahi-browse -rt _uscan._tcp

is very, very useful. What would round it off is seeing the output of

Code: Select all

curl -s http://192.168.1.12:443/eSCL/ScannerCapabilities > caps.txt

Please try "https://..." should "http://..." not work. It is probably best to post caps.txt as an attachment.

[ro82]

Just tried adding ":631" to imagescan.conf. Still getting:

Cannot access Epson XP-530
(esci:networkscan://192.168.1.12:631)
//192.168.1.12:631: error receiving
