Hi - I'm new here. I've been trying to get xsane to work on an Epson ET-4500 print/scan/copier. Everything works except scanning from the automatic document feeder (ADF) - I can scan fine from the flatbed. Whether I try with xsane or with scanimage I get the same outcome:
ADF starts working. About half a page into the first page the ADF stops, and the front end gives an error message: sane_start: Error during device I/O while at the scanner end the scanner hangs up and demands it be power-cycled. In addition the eject command doesn't work (ever). Any help would be appreciated. The rest of this email is information about my installation. uname -a Linux revelation 3.10.0-327.3.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Dec 9 14:09:15 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Using ctrl-i in xsane gets me: Vendor: Epson Model: PID1107 Type: flatbed scanner Device: 10.0.0.101 Loaded backend: epson2:net Sane version: 1.0.25 xsane itself was installed using yum: [root@revelation sane-backends-1.0.25]# yum history info 52 Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks Transaction ID : 52 Begin time : Thu Sep 15 18:21:23 2016 Begin rpmdb : 2575:1fc0fa029a8d5268afccc208de35152eeafe25a5 End time : 18:21:24 2016 (1 seconds) End rpmdb : 2578:b5a06f03cb0dc054fdfbe3e7d4e94b38f13469e9 User : Roger Sewell <rfs> Return-Code : Success Command Line : install xsane Transaction performed with: Installed rpm-4.11.3-17.el7.x86_64 @base Installed yum-3.4.3-132.el7.centos.0.1.noarch @base Installed yum-metadata-parser-1.1.4-10.el7.x86_64 @anaconda Installed yum-plugin-fastestmirror-1.1.31-34.el7.noarch @base Packages Altered: Dep-Install sane-backends-libs-1.0.24-9.el7.x86_64 @base Install xsane-0.999-9.el7.x86_64 @base Dep-Install xsane-common-0.999-9.el7.x86_64 @base Initially I also installed sane-backends using yum: Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks Transaction ID : 49 Begin time : Thu Sep 15 15:58:17 2016 Begin rpmdb : 2577:920ab1df65c18faae476c4e0bd8f87fb6f307b83 End time : 15:58:18 2016 (1 seconds) End rpmdb : 2579:483085e65824e616a8f509dc853583c97e68e5b5 User : Roger Sewell <rfs> Return-Code : Success Command Line : install sane-backends-drivers-scanners Transaction performed with: Installed rpm-4.11.3-17.el7.x86_64 @base Installed yum-3.4.3-132.el7.centos.0.1.noarch @base Installed yum-metadata-parser-1.1.4-10.el7.x86_64 @anaconda Installed yum-plugin-fastestmirror-1.1.31-34.el7.noarch @base Packages Altered: Dep-Install sane-backends-1.0.24-9.el7.x86_64 @base Install sane-backends-drivers-scanners-1.0.24-9.el7.x86_64 @base Scriptlet output: 1 warning: /etc/sane.d/dll.conf created as /etc/sane.d/dll.conf.rpmnew 2 warning: /etc/sane.d/epson2.conf created as /etc/sane.d/epson2.conf.rpmnew 3 warning: /etc/sane.d/net.conf created as /etc/sane.d/net.conf.rpmnew but because v1.0.24-9 gave this problem I instead uninstalled the lot, then reinstalled xsane as above and instead downloaded sane-backends-1.0.25 from https://alioth.debian.org/frs/?group_id=3018, ran ./configure --disable-translations BACKENDS="epson2" make and as root make install echo "/usr/local/lib" | tee -a /etc/ld.so.conf.d/1-sane.conf ldconfig -v | grep libsane getting the output libsane.so.1 -> libsane.so.1.0.25 libsane.so.1 -> libsane.so.1.0.24 as desired - but exactly the same problem. As suggested on the xsane website, I've deleted all the unnecessary backends; my dll.conf file contains the single line epson2 and my epson2.conf file contains just net 10.0.0.101 . As far as I could see from the commit messages on the git site there have been no updates relevant to this particular backend, so I haven't tried the git version. I have also tried using the usb connection, with exactly the same result in all respects. I also tried using scanimage by scanimage -p --mode=color --batch='temp%d.pnm' --source=Automatic and by scanimage -p --mode=color --batch='temp%d.pnm' --source=Automatic --buffer-size=3000 and exactly the same problem occurs again. Any ideas would be most welcome.
