Title: [SOLVED] Scanner problems with Epson ET-2750
Post by: Roberto on 28 February 2022, 13:32:13
I use Artix Linux runit with KDE Plasma 5.

I bought the Epson ET-2750 printer and also successfully installed it with the epson-inkjet-printer-escpr AUR package.
The printer is recognized and also the ink levels are transmitted. Printing works without problems,
Unfortunately, I have no access to the scan function of the printer.
I get an optional dependency with the imagescan package. I can't find this package in the Artix Repositiories or in the AUR.

Sane and sane-runit are installed and the service is also started.

I have also already tried to install the packages "iscan" "iscan-data" and "iscan-plugin-network" from the AUR. Unfortunately without success.

Does anyone have an idea how I can get access to the scanner?

Thanks to all in advance.

I would look here (https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/imagescan/).

Are you using the imagescan package from the arch repo that lq suggested?
I have also tested epsonscan2, but as you wrote, it seems to be broken.

I found the solution to the problem without installing any packages from the Arch repos.

I followed your tip and worked with the epsonscan2 package.
Additionally I installed the package epsonscan2-non-free-plugin from the AUR and checked the dependencies.

After starting the Epson Scan 2 program, I added my device by IP address.

Now scanning works without any problems.

Thanks a lot for your help.
