Much loved Kodak Duplex Scanner s1220 not seen. Any thoughts?

Mint 21.3 - Kodak duplex USB Scanner s1220 Photo / Document Feed Scanner

My Linux skill level: A few days in (poopy toddler)

Hi! I'm trying to keep this old (but perfectly fine) desktop working for my dad who was using Windows 7. We agreed on Mint and now I'm in a scanner driver goose chase to get this much loved but no longer supported by Kodak S1220 USB sheetfed scanner to work.

Scanner turned on and plugged in, (USB) I've tried these steps so far after cruising old forum pages:

- Simple-scan shows "No Scanners Detected"

- XSane says "No Devices Available"

- airscan-discover just says [devices]

- scanimage -L says "no scanners were identified"

- The thing is, I am able to find a dusty Linux TWAIN driver for it (thanks to the Wayback Machine). I've run "twaindsm.deb" with GDebi and it thinks it installed OK. No luck.

- Also ran the terminal "setup" script included with the TWAIN driver from Kodak, which says: "This script will install ALL of the software in this package. KODAK scanner software use OpenUSB and the TWAIN Data Source Manager (DSM). OpenUSB and the TWAIN DSM are distributed with this package and will be installed if necessary. OpenUSB source code can be downloaded from http://openusb.wiki.sourceforge.net TWAIN DSM source code can be downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/twain-dsm. Your distribution appears to use the Debian package manager The RPM packages included on this CD will be converted using alien. Do you want to install Alien?" ((I click Yes)) Then it says "KODAK Scanner software requires QT v3.x. Searching for QT. Please wait...QT v3.x Not Found! You must have the multithreaded QT v3 libraries installed. Would you like to install QT v3 using APT?" ((I click Yes)) It goes on to say "QT v3.x Detected! Checking OpenUSB version. Please wait... Checking the TWAIN DSM version. Please wait...Copying Packages to a temporary directory...TMPDIR is not defined, using /tmp cp: cannot stat '*.rpm': No such file or directory cp: cannot stat '*.deb': No such file or directory Converting Packages using alien... Would you like to install OpenUSB using APT?" ((I click Yes)) It then concludes with " rm: cannot remove 'twaindsm*.deb': No such file or directory Installing Packages... dpkg: error: cannot access archive '*.deb': No such file or directory Press "Enter" To Exit..." No joy.

- VueScan: "VueScan didn't find a scanner connected to your computer. The supported scanners list has more useful information about your scanner. Would you like to see this?" ((I click Yes)) and search fro my Kodak 1220 scanner, VueScan suggests the i1120 would work, but, like, how, VueScan?

- SANE supported? On the list of SANE supported scanners, I found this, which was as close as I could get to my Kodak s1220:

"Kodak i1120 --- Interface? USB --- USB ID? 0x040a/0x6013 --- Status? Good --- duplex sheetfed scanner --- Back end? avision (Build: 296 (unmaintained)) --- Manpage? sane-avision"

I really appreciate any thoughts! Thank you for reading this far.

TBF you seem to have covered most things. My only thoughts are 1) according to what I can see the recommendation is for the device to NOT be plugged in until after the drivers are installed and I personally might have tried the following; 1) uninstall the drivers .deb package using gdebi; 2) unplug the device usb lead from the computer; 3) reboot the computer; 4) reinstall the .deb package using gdebi; 5) once installed plug the scanner usb lead in (perhaps to a different usb socket on the computer) and see whether the device is then discovered. The file you have is completely legitimate (I checked and downloaded it myself), so as far as I can see it should run. Other than that you may prefer to first of all try the more thorough route of uninstalling the .deb using gdebi, unplug the usb lead for the scanner, reboot the computer, then run the Kodak installation script as root. This would probably cover all the developer's intended bases. Let us all know how you got on.

[ahab4000]

Thanks Dave for spending some of your time and looking into this. I really appreciate it and want to acknowledge this probably isn't the most exciting or innovative challenge. Thank You.

It is a puzzle to me, I feel like we are THIS close...


So I tried the gdebi package uninatll of the Kodak provided twaindsm.deb: dpkg -l | grep twaindsm .... sudo apt remove twaindsm ....
Unplugged the Kodak 1220 Duplex Scanner and Rebooted, then again reinstalled b]twaindsm.deb[/b] using gdebi. Plugged the scanner into a totally different USB port. No luck


Next I went the script way as root. The script ran into an error (I'm sure there were more waiting) before kicking me out :

Maybe I'm just chasing a squirrel up a tree here. Perhaps SANE is the way, in that case the back end is probably Avison. Is there a way I can force SANE to work?

Thanks again!

Apologies for my lack of knowledge on how best to advise you further, perhaps someone with more intimate knowledge and experience can help? I tried some suggestions within the scope of my limited experience, but I am confused as to how to assist you further now. Sorry. I know how frustrating it is, having climbed quite a few mountains in the past myself.

[ahab4000]

totally understand. I appreciate you help!
