He told me it appears that something called "epkowa" is missing in the newer versions of this package.
I downloaded both versions of this package and extracted them. I found that the newer version was missing these "epkowa" files in the following places: --- etc/sane.d/epkowa.conf usr/lib/sane/libsane-epkowa.la usr/lib/sane/libsane-epkowa.so.1 usr/lib/sane/libsane-epkowa.so.1.0.19 --- I also found that the "lib/udev/40-libsane-extras.rule" file was 1.1kb in the new version and 14.5kb in the old. Seems like alot of functionality was removed... Seems the problem is with the package afterall. -- Scanning broken with Epson RX585 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/570373 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
