Scanner Epson on Slitaz doesn´t work

Hi all

I´m happy to return to Slitaz.

Thanks to Arun I´ve installed Slitaz in UEFI mode and then I´ve installed Slitz rolling 32 bits on a partition (sda5), quick and easy. Reboot, update grub from Linux MX (sda2). At last reboot on Slitaz.

My ten-years-old Macbook runs very fast. No problem with dual screen. Wifi isn´t working because of the chip Broadcom b43, but it´s not a big problem. Printer HP LaserJet 1018 is ok after downloading the plugin.

The only problem is the scanner Epson Perfection V39 ; after #tazpkg convert I´ve installed

imagescan-3.49.0-1epson4fedora28.tazpkg

imagescan-plugin-gt-s650-1.0.0-1epson4fedora28.tazpkg ,

imagescan-plugin-ocr-engine-1.0.0-1epson4fedora28.tazpkg ,

When I type sane-find-scanner the answer is

found USB scanner (vendor=0x05ac, product=0x8300) at libusb:002:003

found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x013d [Epson Perfection V39])

and #scanimage -L returns

No scanners were identified

#tazhw setup scanner returns

Detected USB devices Kernel modules

================================================================================

Epson Perfection V39                    (none)

etc ...

Has anybody an idea to fix this issue ?

The scanner V39 on sane backend has marked "unsupport type" (or unmaintained ?!?)

Re: Scanner Epson on Slitaz doesn´t work

Thanks gibor for your quick answer. This scanner works without problem on Linux MX. So I´ve convert and installed iscan-data, image scan, imagescan-plugin-gt-s650 from the Debian 32 bits packages.

A bit of progress :

#scanimage -L returns

device `epson:libusb:002:006' is a Epson a flatbed scanner

but

#scanimage -T returns

scanimage: sane_start: Invalid argument

So I´m carrying on my endeavours

Re: Scanner Epson on Slitaz doesn´t work

You have tried to build direct on slitaz image scan-3.49.0 ?

wget http://support.epson.net/linux/src/scanner/imagescanv3/debian/imagescan_3.49.0.orig.tar.gz

tar -xvf imagescan_3.49.0.orig.tar.gz

cd utsushi-0.49.0

./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc

make

su > root

make install

Good luck!
