You are correct, epkowa is a backend sane is looking for because it is specified in dll.conf. It first looks in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane/ but it cannot find what it needs. It falls back to searching for the needed library in /usr/lib/sane/ but no luck there either. > You did download their tar.gz file and run 'install.sh' without > error, right? install.sh is either doing the wrong thing or there was a user error in using it. We'll probably never know. What is more intriguing is that neither the epson nor the epson2 backends give anything usable and the logs have no indication of what is causing it. It is also a little perturbing because the L210 is supposed to have complete support with epson2.
