I have: Restored (all sets of) factory defaults on the printer; Uninstalled all the things in the following list (i.e. the total list of what I had installed), working up from the bottom (and reinstalling sane-backends-drivers-scanners and sane-backends-libs after taking out sane-backends-devel - but I checked the version was the same as it always has been); (This is the list of what I had installed since it wouldn't work: libtool-ltdl-2.4.2-20.el7.x86_64 (was already there) (updated to) 2.4.2-21.el7_2.x86_64 libtool-ltdl-devel-2.4.2-21.el7_2.x86_64 atkmm-devel-2.22.7-3.el7.x86_64 cairomm-devel-1.10.0-8.el7.x86_64 glibmm24-devel-2.42.0-1.el7.x86_64 gtkmm24-devel-2.24.2-8.el7.x86_64 libsigc++20-devel-2.3.1-4.el7.x86_64 pangomm-devel-2.34.0-3.el7.x86_64 sane-backends-1.0.24-9.el7.x86_64 sane-backends-devel-1.0.24-9.el7.x86_64 sane-backends-drivers-cameras-1.0.24-9.el7.x86_64 sane-backends-drivers-scanners-1.0.24-9.el7.x86_64 imagescan-3.20.0-1epson4centos7.x86_64.rpm imagescan-plugin-ocr-engine-1.0.0-1epson4centos7.x86_64.rpm imagescan-plugin-networkscan-1.1.0-1epson4centos7.x86_64.rpm ) Removed the net line from epson2.conf, and added a usb line in its place with the same numbers as before; Simultaneously powered down both computer and printer/scanner; Unplugged the network cable from the printer and plugged in a USB cable instead. And it just will not misbehave ! Alternatively, it may be because the good software has made some change in settings to the scanner which aren't reverted by "restore factory defaults". Any ideas on what's going on ?
