Error messages from my initial attempt to install without doing the above, indicated that sane-backend was missing. In addition, it requires that sane is itself installed from a tar - which means uninstalling it and re-installing a tar version for this. Trouble is that when I try to install, it requires a package called sane-backend which does not exist in Package Manager. deb packages from Avasys by downloading the tar file. Of library dependencies, the first of which is /bin/sh. However when trying to run the rpm -i command, I get a long list Stuff and had install RPM itself using package manager. Just after my last post I downloaded the Avasys

I was just about to post, when I saw your reply. The scan backend returned the following error: invalid argument. Same snapscan errors as for Xsane aboveĪn error window occurs during probing with the message:Īn error occurred while accessing device. Lists debug info - versions of flegita.Ģ. (the above 2 lines are exactly as stated!)Īn initial window says scanning for devices, then an error window has the message:įailed to open device `snapscan:libusb 004 005':invalid argumentġ. cannot open firmware file /usr/share/sane/snapscan/your - firmwarefile.bin So now today on v6 - these are the error messages on a newly rebooted machine running as myself in a Special drivers, since it can occasionally appear to find the right driver - but unfortunately - not for most Please note that even on Mint v5,Ībout 1 in every 10 days - for some reason Xsane would work 100% ! So I could not see the need to download I have now installed Xsane on v6, so I have both Flegita and Xsane.

I have also added a post to the newbie questions over this. I am now continuing investigation of this problem, but have re-installed with Linux Mint 6 from scratch. Where is the definitive list of hardware supported by Linux Mint, I have searched for this on the site but canot find it? Hope someone can help as I genuinely thought I was on the finishing straight to dispensing with Windows. Where do I go from here? Do I have to attempt to find some old scanner for sale on Ebay that is supported, or like many others in the forums here, keep a Windows machine going just to allow me to continue scanning?!!! If I type: scanimage -list -devices into a terminal window, it will list the scanner as an Epson flatbed scanner.ĭoes this mean that my scanner is not supported? If so, I am surprised as it is a popular scanner and about 2-3 years old. When I run xsane, I get the following error output:-įailed to open device 'snapscan:libusb:011:002 invalid argument' So I plugged in the scanner and installed as many sane and xsane packages as I could find. The scanner (Epson 3490 photo, usb) was not attached during the original Linux Mint install. One of the last tests I have tried is to get a scanner to work. I have been evaluating Linux Mint and so far it beats all other distros I have yet tried.
