Public bug reported: I downloaded the debian driver package (iscan_2.24.0-4.ltdl7_i386.deb) for most Epson perfection scanners (mine is a 1670), installed it and attempted to run any of the 3 scanner programs.
XSANE gave me the message: "failed to open device 'snapscan:libusb:002:002': invalid argument". Simple Scan gave me the message: "Unable to connect to scanner" Image Scan for Linux gave me the message: "Could not send command to scanner. Check the scanner's status. " I loathe the prospect of going back to my Vista box. how do I get my Ubuntu box to connect to the scanner. It's definitely posered, the USb is definitely plugged in; I'm out of my depth. The scanner works find with my Vista box, but I loathe working with vista. ** Affects: simple-scan (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1489558 Title: failed to open device 'snapscan:libusb:002:002 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/simple-scan/+bug/1489558/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
