Hi, on my desktop pc using KDE I have an USB epson perfection scanner V300 photo, I used xsane (version 0.999) for years but now it doesn’t works anymore, the scanner is recognized but when I click on preview this error comes:
failed to start scanner: invalid argument
how can I have my scanner works again??
Post:
zypper se -si sane
zypper lr -d
PS:
Leap 15.1 is end of life, so maybe an update to Leap 15.2 will also help…
yes I know 15.1 is end of life, I will upgrade but for 15.2 do not works well on my laptop, cursor flickering and other problem that I would not to have on my desktop…

I would change all sane packages back to version sane-backends-1.0.31 from update-Repo, 1.0.32 can make some problems.
yes I know 15.1 is end of life, I will upgrade but for 15.2 do not works well on my laptop, cursor flickering and other problem that I would not to have on my desktop
When I see your Repo list, that is not a new problem for me…
I would install new and do not make any Update/Upgrade to Leap 15.2.
yeahhhh, it works again now, manythanks
…so end of life means really end, I will follow your suggestion, all that works should continue to work…
at the end it worked only at 100 point resolution, so I upgaraded and it has been less painful tha I expectedlol!
