11.4. Detecting and using epson perfection 4490 photo

Hello,

I did a lot of work with this scanner with 11.3 last year, but can’t make it work now.


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=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x0119 [EPSON Scanner]) at libusb:002:006
  # 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 port or other proprietary ports
  # can't be detected by this program.

I don’t have better result wiith the epson driver :-(, nor with vuescan, either say like yast: no scanner found.

I have nearly the same message as root or as user, so it’s not the already seen permission problem.

What can I do?

thanks

It is found, I believe:

So you have to show what is the output of scanimage as suggested above.

yes, I forgot to add than no other application detect anything. scanimage say “you don’t have a scanner”, epson or sane drivers also


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).

Sorry, it’s largely my fault, I mixed 32 bits and 64 bits applications from avasys
now iscan works (all 64 bits)
thanks
