Hi Olaf !

Thank you very much. It will help in making our minds in buying a new 
scanner...


Yes, my mother had first a scanner Canon 5600F 
(https://alioth.debian.org/tracker/?group_id=30186=410366=detail=315609) 
; because it was recognised by no-one except by Linux, my mother bought 
a new scanner which scan 1 line instead of 2 lines... She changed it 
with the Epson XP-435 which was enable to work properly... each time she 
wanted to use it, that never works and I had to download and to install 
the drivers each time I go and see her...
Now she is really fed up and wants to be sure, if she buys a new one, it 
will happen nothing wrong and she can use her scanner each times she 
wants and without asking me to help her.


As far as the scanner Canon 5600F is concerned, I have to do 3 tests to 
let it probably work... if I can't, she will buy a new scanner with 
angry this time...


Have a nice day !
Sab

Hi Olaf and Ralph !

Thank you very much for your prompt answer.

The last one was the XP-435, supported by their Image Scan V3, too,
but XP-435 wasn't able to work properly with the SANE :( I had always
to install the drivers before using it.  It was so upsetting that we
throught it away and bought a new Printer (Canon IP110) and now we are
looking for a scanner which works with Linux (Image Scan V3 doesn't
run properly in Linux and was enable to recognise this d.. scanner
!!!).

That's

right?  Sorry that didn't work out for you.


As far as the WorkForce DS-1630 is concerned I've read that SANE doesn't
run with USB3 ? and in the french description (easier to read when we
are Frenches) I read that this one is just working with USB-3...

SANE does work with USB-3 in a large number of cases but sometimes
people run into trouble.  This most often happens with old versions of
libsane and/or older Linux kernel versions.

If the DS-1630 truly only works with USB-3, then you should check the
USB ports on your computer first.  If those aren't USB-3, there is no
point in buying a DS-1630.

That said, USB-3 devices should fall back to using USB-2 (e.g. if the
computer only has USB-2 ports) and still work but with a possible
decrease in data throughput (i.e. your scans will go slower).

Hope this helps,

Thanks for the follow-up Ralph.

If the EPSON download site says it's supported by their Image Scan V3,
you should be able to use it with any SANE frontend after installing
Image Scan V3.

In addition, there is a *chance* that it works (to some extent) with one
of the epsonds, epson2 and epson backends.

Good afternoon !

Before buying this mentionned scanner I need to know if Libsane
recognise it. I don't see any mention about it at
http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html#Z-EPSON.

That's because, unfortunately, EPSON does not provide information
linking model names to USB product IDs and SANE does not include third
party backend information in that page :-(

If EPSON provided the linking information, I'd be able to create a much
more useful utsushi.desc file.  And if SANE added third party backends
to those pages, you'd actually be able to find it.

# We could do something about the latter though.

You won't find the DS-1630 there (yet?), but, FWIW, the utsushi.desc
info is at

   http://www.sane-project.org/lists/sane-backends-external.html#S-UTSUSHI

If you can tell me the USB product ID for the DS-1630, I'll fix that
right away.

Hope this helps,
