Re: UMAX AstraSlim SE - Invalid argument

you still could try the "forever" trick

sudo apt-get remove ipp-usb

reboot, try again, have luck.

Re: UMAX AstraSlim SE - Invalid argument

remember some 5-8 years ago when ürchased the first ecotank printer,
that it was difficult sometime to scan with certain programs, not all would function equal, so i tired them through, (all) the different programs that were available,
and not all would function for the scanner for some reason or another; even the epson program itself would not function; so i started installing drivers etc, but since a lot has changed;
have an old samsung all-in-one here (relegated to shelve, since it laser), might aswell test it wout someday to see if can get scanning to function.

sometimes i do chit-chat-with gemini-chatbot since ma curiuos being;

but it warns that the answers can be inaccurate.

To grant your Linux system permissions to use an Epson scanner without root access, you must create a custom udev rule. This assigns the device to the scanner group and sets appropriate read/write permissions.Step 1: Find your Vendor and Product IDOpen a terminal and type lsusb. Look for your Epson device in the list and note down its IDs, which look similar to 04b8:012f (where 04b8 is the Vendor ID and 012f is the Product ID).Step 2: Create the udev RuleOpen a new rule file in your preferred text editor (e.g., Nano) with superuser privileges:sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/99-epson-scanner.rulesAdd the following line (replace YOUR_VENDOR_ID and YOUR_PRODUCT_ID with the numbers from Step 1):SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="YOUR_VENDOR_ID", ATTRS{idProduct}=="YOUR_PRODUCT_ID", MODE="0666", GROUP="scanner", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"
Save the file and exit the text editor.Step 3: Apply and VerifyReload the udev rules for the changes to take effect:sudo udevadm control --reload-rulesUnplug your scanner's USB cable and plug it back in.Check if your user account is in the scanner group (if not, add it using sudo usermod -a -G scanner $USER).Run scanimage -L in your terminal to verify that your Epson scanner is detected.For more technical background on writing hardware rules, you can refer to general guides on Writing udev rules.Could you tell me the exact model of your Epson scanner and which Linux distribution you are using? This will allow me to provide the exact idVendor and idProduct numbers for your device, or help you troubleshoot specific SANE driver issues if they arise.
