I reverted back to the original settings.Įdit6: I tried scanlite, here's the error it gives me:Įdit7: The second time I ran Scanlite, it says it dod not detect scanners on my computer. # Most Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary portsĮdit5: I tried all combinations of settings in BIOS related to USB configuration, without result. # Not checking for parallel port scanners. # you have loaded a kernel driver for your USB host controller and have setup If you expected something different, make sure that # you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter. # scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer. # result is different from what you expected, first make sure your # sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. However, scan doesn't work on USB 2.0 too(on my laptop).Įdit4: Here's output of sudo sane-find-scanner: I have tried to connect scanner to all 3 USB ports(2 3.0 and 1 2.0) and the same thing happens.Įdit2: Scanning works with the program vuescan, but it requires to buy it in order to remove watermark which it creates, and it's closed source.Įdit3: Of all tested laptops, only mine has USBs 3.0(x2). So far, I have connected mouse, USB flash memory, camera, and they all work fine. I need scanner a lot and it might happen that, because of this, I might switch to windows, which I don't like because it's not open-source, so please help! Here are the screenshots of the error I'm getting and the settings of simple scan.Įdit1: The USB works fine with any other device. Scanner always works with brother's and never with mine laptop. Now here's when it gets really weird! I tried running many distributions form live USB on both mine and brother's laptop. I also tried another computer with elementary os, and it too works. He did not install any software for scanning. When I connect my brother's laptop which has the same version of ubuntu(14.04), it works. I'm trying to scan with samsung scx-4200 which is a printer with scanner.
