Hello.
I'm running linux lite 3.8 and trying to use an Agfa snapscan e25 scanner.
While trying to update sane backends, I saw your message and noted the
email.
I bought the scanner second hand
When I plug it the del lights up, seems to work !
But when I try to hit scna in simple scan, it doesn't.
Simple scan tells me "Failed to scan" and "Unable to connect to scanner"
It then proposes me to change scanner. I can see the agfa scanner on the
list, but it simply doesn't work.
Could you please help me or point out a forum topic that would help ?
Thanks !

you really need to give the sane gurus a bit more info to help them help you.
read the manual page for scanimage [ ./doc/scanimage.1 or ./doc/scanimage.man ]
for builtin usage try
a) scanimage --help
b) scanimage -A
if scanimage does not report a scanner try sane-find-scanner
(man pages ./doc/sane-find-scanner.1 or ./doc/sane-find-scanner.man)
if sane-find-scanner fails to report your scanner the scanner is
i) not sane supported, ii) not working, iii) not connected.
else create a debugging log and redirect into a file:
[ from sane archive by rolf bensch 02/23/20 06:18 ]
$ SANE_DEBUG_PIXMA=11 scanimage 2> scan.log > image.pnm
browse thru the sane-devel archive for more insight as
to methods used to get debugging data.
NOTE: change PIXMA to whatever scanimage identifies as your
scanner backend under the List of available devices:
for example genesys:libusb:/dev/usb:4a9.1905/0
use GENESYS
then send the debugging log file to the sane list.
best of luck
