usb recognizes epson scanner software can not see it linux

To get them to work via Wi-Fi needed the installation of iscan-network-nt, writing the access code of the router into the Epson configuration screen of the multifunction device, editing the dll.conf and nf files ( viewtopic.php?f=42&t=225289) and writing the IP Address of the scanner into both the Epson configuration screen and the nf file. After that XSane Scanner, Simple Scan and the Epson program Image Scan! for Linux were accessible and fully functional via USB. To get my Epson devices to work in Linux Mint 17.x 64bit required nothing more than installing the Epson drivers for both printer and scanner from the Epson Download Center. You have been very systematic in trying to find the cause of the malfunction, full marks for that, Arrababiski. So this is some new issue related to LM18, ufw and the Epson scanner, because with LM17.3 and ufw enabled everything was working fine. Starting ufw again means scanner stops responding.

The only way is disabling ufw and rebooting. Also created an ufw rule to allow inbound/outbound traffic from/to port 1865 and doesn't work.

Image Scan works!!! Next I enabled ufw, disabled again, and 'Image Scan' won't work again. If I disable ufw and start 'Image Scan', doesn't work. All what happens is very close to the behaviour described in this thread:įirst reinstalled the drivers from Epson, then try to make lots of changes in dll.conf, net.conf, nf, ufw enable and disable but nothing worked.įinally it worked. Epson 'Image Scan! for Linux' takes a lot of time to start (about 2 min and 40 seconds), but only to show a window with the message 'Could not send command to scanner'.

This weekend upgraded to LM18 and since then, my scanner is not recognized. I was using my Epson SX235W printer & scanner under LM17.3 without any problem.
