In a new installation of Linux Mint 21.2 Victoria GIMP offers only
“scanimage”.
My printer/scanner is a Epson XP-6100Here is what I have done:
*
Installation of GIMP via Application Installation
(“Anwendungsverwaltung” in German)
*
Installation of XSanevia Application Installation
*
Set a symbolic link:
ln -s /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins ~/.config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins
*
Deleted the cache
The Menu “File” > “create” shows only “scanimage”.
Because the Epson XP-6100 was not supported when I installed in 2021 on
Linux Mint 20.0 I had to install via the ppa “sane-project/sane-git”.
For that reason I did the following:
*
I uninstalled XSane
*
I addedthe ppa“sane-project/sane-git”
*
I installed XSane
*
I set a symbolic link:
ln -s /usr/bin/xsane~/.config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins
*
I deleted the cache
The Menu “File” > “create” still shows only “scanimage”.
