xsane error is : "Failed to start scanner: Invalid argument." reassigning. Here is some more information : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xsane/+bug/478761 But I finally solved my problem with a workaround : install a new sane backend for Epson devices : "Image Scan! for Linux" http://avasys.jp/eng/linux_driver/download/ The packages installs a new utility to perform scans, but also permits to scan within xsane (with the new "epkowa" backend) or simple-scan. Can you tell which of the drivers shipped with snae-backends you were using? The upstream list of supported devices[1] lists your model as supported only by the (unmaintained) "epson" driver, not by the "epson2" driver. You might want to check if commenting out the "epson2" and "epkowa" backends in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf makes the device work. [1]: http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html#Z-EPSON It's "epson2". "epson" line is commented. But http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html#Z-EPSON indicates that the Perfection610 is supported by both backends.

Uhh right (I somehow missed that). Could you try it with the "epson" rather than the "epson2" driver just to check whether the older one works better? Thanks. Ok I will try that, asap... the scanner is not with me. I could try this only in 15 days... Slightly different it will scan 1 page but after that errors out. As shown below: ** (simple-scan:2365): WARNING **: Unable to start device: Invalid argument using fujitsu snapscan 1500 . can anyone help me fix this? The old backend "epson" works fine too. But not "espon2". Idem in F14 Beta. This bug is still present in F14, at least with: xsane-common-0.997-10.fc14.x86_64 simple-scan-2.32.0-1.fc14.x86_64 Switching from the epson2 to the epson driver works for me and my Epson Perfection 610. I had to workaround this by installing the shipped sane-backend for F13 Just done all the yum updates on a x86_64 F14 and still getting this error. The scanner I have is an Epson Perfection 640U. Is there any movement on this bug? It's a pretty major one for home users! This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '13'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. I should have followed up on this, sorry. Can anybody subscribed to this bug reproduce the original issue (see comment #0 or comment #1) with current versions of sane-backends and xsane or simple-scan On fedora 14 or later? Comments 10,11 & 13 show this bug as present in F14. I've not checked in F15 yet, but will do so once I've moved house. Can this be re-opened now or does it need to wait for F15 confirmation?

If you or one of the other people with this hardware can reproduce it on F-14 or F-15 (with current versions of the packages, at least xsane-0.998-3 and sane-backends-1.0.22-3), feel free to reopen (Fedora 14 is still maintained after all ;-). At least sane-backends was still on version 1.0.21 at the time comment #13 was written, and this issue might be improved or fixed in 1.0.22. But I don't have your hardware to test this, so can only rely on you and other owners to check if the bug is still there or has been fixed. Far from ideal, I know :-(. Hi, I will try this weekend. I can't test now. It works now with "epson2" backend (the default one) with F15 and sane-backends-1.0.22-3.fc15. But still doesn't work within F14. But it's not important, the workaround is to use "epson" backend. (In reply to comment #21) > But still doesn't work within F14. But it's not important, the workaround is to > use "epson" backend. Hmm, there may have been fixes in the USB subsystem between F-14 and F-15 which affect this. I'll change the Fedora version to 14 and close this as CANTFIX unless/until someone steps up to act as my "conduit" to such a device exhibiting the problem there with the current package versions. Feel free to reopen in that case, but be warned that this may be some long, dry road ;-). |
