I also have got a Epson Stylus SX410 and I'm affected by this bug, too. I'm trying to provide as much information as I can so that a developer can get this fixed.
According to the list on their website, the Sytlus SX410 is fully supported by sane. 'sane-find-scanner' seems to find the scanner: 'found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8, product=0x0851) at libusb:002:006'. However, 'scanimage -L' identifies no scanner. I tried to remove the printer as warnfried suggested in comment #3, but this didn't have any effect for me. I could still not scan. I also tried the workaround suggested by pelaodiego in bug #72506, comment #7 (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sane- backends/+bug/72506/comments/7) and adapted the IDs to the SX410 (see above). This didn't work either. I don't get a segfault when starting xsane via the commandline as experienced by Cedders (comment #4). I also tried the scanner using Linux Mint Elyssa and Knoppix 5.1.1 Live CDs and it didn't work in that distros either. So, this seems to be a wider known problem (although I didn't find other similar bugreports). Is someone working on a solution for this? Do we have to send this report upstream? To which project? I'd really appreciate if I could finally use my scanner and I'm willing to help to find a solution to this if you need more specific information. -- Epson Stylus SX410 hybrid printer/scanner isn't in detected as a scanner by xsane https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/475185 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
