Re: Scanner not working, package request simple-scan

I did some more digging on your behalf and I came across a reference (which I can't locate now) that stated that the Arch Linux driver: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pantum_driver is more complete than the .deb that is available from the Pantum site. If you were to put in a package request her...

A tutorial from the Mint Forums: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=367823 Yes, I did the installation, the problem is that the scanner is still not recognized. I tried giving the command "lsusb" and the printer is recognized (attached). With "sane-find-scanner" the sc...

Re: Scanner not working, package request simple-scan

The drivers were not present in the distribution that I used before (Artix, based on Arch), and the printer manufacturer (Pantum M 6500) provided only an .deb package that was not usable in Artix. So I found the drivers suitable on AUR, I think they also contain the necessary part for the scanner, ...

Re: Scanner not working, package request simple-scan

No to enabling test repo, no to using Synaptic. Use MX Packageinstaller >> Test Repo tab. Search for the packages there. Good evening, so, I downloaded "simple-scan" version 42.1 from MX Packegeinstaller-Test Repo. Everything is fine, no problems during the installation of the program. Un...

I have sent the latest libsane 1.1.1 and simple-scan 42.1 to the MX test repository, and they should be appearing in there soon. :cool: OK, thank you for the very quick feedback!

Re: Scanner not working, package request simple-scan

OK, I'll take a whack at backporting it. Edit: Since simple-scan is basically a front end for libsane, maybe the newer libsane in that other distro is actually why it's working there. I'll try to backport the libsane from Debian testing first, then try building simple-scan against it. Ok, tks a lot...
