Rastislav,
I did not have much
luck with the epson scanner, however i just order the
Canon CanoScan LIDE400 Document Scanner, which i ordered from amazon. and even though Linux mint 22 found and installed the driver LIOS still did not work right and i think it is because it did not install all the dependencies. so i went to Canon site and downloaded the driver for linux and installed it and rebooted system. and now LIOS works great. I scanned a few documents my wife got from doctors office and i was impressed how accurate it was. this week i plan on testing on other distros.

the official repository of the LIOS project is here:
https://github.com/zendalona/liosI have forked it and applied my fixes I made some time ago for my HP laserjet scanner.
https://github.com/RastislavKish/liosSee the scanimageDriverFix branch. If you’d like to try it out, there are two ways to do it, the more complicated but correct and simpler but hacky.
The more complicated is to get rid of your current lios installation (this is necessary to avoid package collisions) and install the program from the fix branch of my repository:
git clone https://github.com/RastislavKish/lios cd lios git switch scanimageDriverFixAnd install from source according to the documentation.
Don’t forget to select scanimage driver to be used in the LIOS settings.
However, there is a simpler way. The fix basically deals with just one file, and synce Python programs are not compiled, you can swap it out for the modified version in the existing installation and make it work this way. No need to uninstall your current setup and it’s relatively quick.
In order to do this, you first need to locate where did your system install the lios python package. It likely resides in one of the python’s dist-packages or site-packages directories, check /usr/lib/pytho, /usr/local/lib/python etc. When you find the directory, the file you’re looking for is ./scanner/scanimage_driver.py
Clone my repository like mentioned above, don’t forget to switch the branch i.e.git clone https://github.com/RastislavKish/lios cd lios git switch scanimageDriverFixAnd swap the scanimage_driver.py. You will likely need to do this as a root since LIOS is usually installed in a read-only directory.
Also make sure to select scanimage as the scanning driver in the LIOS settings.
I’m not promising anything, as I mentioned before this was a simple fix intended to make the program work with my scanner, but maybe it will work for you too, the problem seems similar.
Best regards
Rastislav

I logged into my linux mint machine and the version of LIOS is 2.8

Hello,
which distribution of LIOS are you using?
These issues shouldn't be a big deal, LIOS has a bit incomplete implementation of the scanner protocol, but when this happened on my machine I could fix it in the code and I believe I reported the issues and my solutions back.
Best regards
