Hello all, I can't scan to my Epson WF-2540 printer/scanner. About 1 nanosecond after running skanlite a dialog box comes up saying no devices were found. Of course it prints fine. This printer is shown as compatible for both printing and scanning on the Linux Foundation site (where I got the driver for it). I have tried this so far: - turned off firewalld - ran tcpdump between the computer and printer, then ran skanlite again. There is no indication that there was ever any communication between them. - ran skanlite with strace. Lot's of output (duh) but no smoking gun that I could see. My old Fedora 14 system can find the scanner just fine, and you can see the network traffic pretty clearly. If anyone has any ideas I would sure like to hear them. Jim Lewis
Have you downloaded the scanner driver from Epson? Also, do you have the SANE app? (I'm not familiar with the guts of Fedora--I used it years ago, but I'm not using it now.) It may be that skanlite is just another sane front-end. Anyway, I have found that sometimes the scanner "just works"--perhaps there's some generic drivier in the OS, and sometimes it doesn't, in which case you have to go to Epson's Linux download section, and find your all-in-one machine and download the scanner portion. (It seems you have the printer part working OK, but if there are things there that don't work, you can download printer driver software form the same site.) If there is more than one Epson listed in the driver for your machine--i.e. Epson 1 and Epson 2, try both. My setup is networked on a LAN, and I had to select Epson 2. (I have a different model Epson all-in-one, the WP4530, but I imagine my experience may be common to other machines also.) You will need to open the driver and select 1 or 2 and see what happens. (If you have 1 and 2. I do.) When you get it to work, it should do a real nice job. Epson practically invented the scanner and their scanners work really nicely.
