Greetings, I just received an Epson XP-4100 multifunction printer, and connected it to an Ubuntu 20.04 desktop, with all updates installed, as well as the packages sane and sane-utils Printing works fine, scanning does not. lsusb, scanimage and avahi browse do list the scanner (see outputs below), and its web interface of the scanner is reachable at http://127.0.0.1:60000/ However: * the Epson imagescan package does not find any device. * the web interface at Product Status -> Network says Device Name : EPSON309A2B Connection Status : Disable and I can't find any way to enable it from there
* if I run scanimage I get "scanimage: sane_start: Invalid argument" (see details below) * skanlite sees the scanner, but cannot actually scan: it just makes it click for a few minutes, during which the scanner display says "Scanning the original", then aborts, just like scanimage (see its output below) I have configured and used lots of scanners under Linux for years including shell scripts to scan lots of documents, but honestly I have no idea what to do how or check next to make scanning work this time... Any advice is very welcome Thanks in advance, Marco COMMAND OUTPUTS: #> lsusb... Bus 001 Device 005: ID 04b8:1137 Seiko Epson Corp.
