Unable to communicate with scanner part of printer/scanner

Hi,
(I’m never sure whether to start a new thread for what is a continuation of the same issue, as I prefer to only read one thread, so here goes)

Leap 15.0, connecting to Epson ET-7750 AiO printer/scanner via wifi (home LAN); it previuosly worked out-of-the-box in Leap 42.3 (after adding user to lp group, as described above); now printer works (after some confusion with the new firewall config) but scanner function is no longer working

I’ve tried activating epson2 and epsonds in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf; and added net 192.168.1.92 to both epson2.conf and epsonds.conf, with no success (sane backend epkowa no longer seems to be included in the current package (1.0.27-lp150.4.1) - I’ve seen this mentioned in other threads, but don’t know if this is relevant).

I would have recommended starting a new thread, rather than tacking onto an old thread like this. The main reason for this is that with an appropriate thread title, you have the best chance of attracting the attention that you require from those that can help.

When I run imagescan, it opens, but fails to connect, with (seemingly incomplete message) :

Cannot access ET-7750
(esci:networkscan://192.168.1.92:1865)
//192.168.1.92:1865: error receiving

and now I’m stuck!

Does anyone have any suggestions?

thanks - JS

You do need to know the appropriate sane backend for your Epson AiO model to configure correctly, so this is the likely reason for this error.
