Besides, in spite the fact the workaround worked for me (able to scan), there are still some issues: a. the scanner is very slow to detect (at least one minute, against a few seconds under Ubuntu 16.04) b. my scanner is sheet fed, but gets identified as a flatbed scanner, which results in some options being grayed out in "Image Scan!" (iscan) I'll try as, Jean, to replace the libsane-epkowa.so.1 by the one provided with the Epkowa package to see if it solved those issues as well. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to sane-backends in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1728012 Title: Many 3rd party scanner drivers are broken by a sane change Status in sane-backends package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Many scanners can no more be used since sane has changed something: The 3rd-party plug-in the vendor provides as .deb package will still install. But the scanner is no more recognized. Scanners that are affected are(besides others): - Epson Perfection V10 - Epson Perfection V1000 - Epson WorkForce GT-1500 - Brother MFC-8510DN - Epson Perfection V33 It is to note that the probability that the scanner manufacturers fix things others broke is below 100%.
