Apologies in advance for marking this as confirmed, but I'm pretty much out of options. I tried to bisect using mainline kernels (above), but got nowhere. I followed the instructions as given:-
git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git cd linux git checkout 49f9ae92af54217fd9821a7613342178893a72af (NB also tried v4.3.6 and more) This commit was from the last known build where I had no problem - v4.3.6 (http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.3.6-wily) and got this error:- fatal: reference is not a tree: 49f9ae92af54217fd9821a7613342178893a72af I've tried lots of searching to try resolve my bisect issues, but its been of limited help. So I'm really stumped and can't proceed with anything, which is disappointing because I'd really like scanner back.

Sorry if not. After upgrading to 16.04, my scanner is no longer detected by xsane (and other scan apps.) The model is 'Epson WF-3520' multi-function and is connected wirelessly to the network. The problem occurs on all my computers: A Dell 64 bit desktop, An Asus 64 bit laptop, A Medion 32 bit laptop. I've upgraded to the latest software released by the manufacturer on 2 computers, but it makes no difference. Printing works OK and also the scanner is detected if I connect using a USB cable (a second printer is installed though). The problem only occurs using the 'linux-image-4.4.0...' series of kernels. If I boot with any of the previous kernels available, 'linux-image-4.2.0...' or 'linux-image-3.19.0...' everything works OK. I am able to ping the scanner. I've tried a number of suggested fixes from searching around various forums, although many of these relate to 'back-end' scanners connected to a host for network access which is not applicable as mine is connected directly to the network. In any case none have worked. I have tried the following: . Removing all manufacturer software and /usr/sane.d/epkowa.conf . Comment out all entries in the /usr/sane.d/dll (Back-end related) . Comment out all entries in the /usr/sane.d/dll.conf.conf except 'net' and adding 'epkowa' (Back-end related) . Disable the firewall (ufw) . Specifically adding a port to use (1865) (ie. net 192.1... 1865 . Linking the libraries in /usr/lib/sane to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane Other than that I'm at a loss and sticking with older kernels. Regards.
