Asked by Filip Ciklevski

Madame, Sir, good day,

I have Epson Stylus SX105 Print/Scan and when I try to scan I receive this information: No scanners detected, Please check your scanner is connected and powered on.
My Epson Stylus SX105 Print/Scan is powered on and I still receiving the same message.

Thank you in advance for your answer.
Regards.

Hello Filip,

sorry for the late reply, I am cleaning up this section and came across your question...

Unfortunately Simple Scan cannot do much about what scanners work with it and what scanners do not. The scanner drivers are completely separate from Simple Scan. Simple Scan is a collection of windows and buttons to allow the user to ask the scanner drivers to do some scanning. If the scanner driver fails to do that it is almost certainly not the problem that Simple Scan "asked wrong" but a problem with the scanner driver itself.

Basically you need to get your scanner working with SANE/libsane. Updating to the latest Ubuntu with the latest libsane might help, but possibly even the latest libsane does not support your scanner. In that case only waiting or buying another scanner (inform yourself what scanners work with libsane beforehand!) will help!

Best Regards
Michael

You need the iscan debs, can you give the output of:

lsb_release -a; uname -a

Thanks

I suggest you don't buy Epson in future, they refuse to support Linux. HP LOVE Linux and the printer will more than likely work out of the box (Simpler than Windows)

Can you help with this problem?
