Failure to scan unable to connect to scanner
I am running Ubuntu 20.04 and using a Epson perfection 1670 scanner with and using the Document Scan Program. It worked fine until the last time I updated (about 2 weeks ago). Now when I turn on document scan it searches for scanners for a few moments and than shows "EPSON EPSON Scanner" when I click scan it returns " failure to scan unable to find scanner" I have installed drivers for Ubuntu 64 bit from the epson website and as far as i can tell they installed properly I have an older laptop that is running the same OS but has not been updated and it scans fine on that. If i plug the scanner into the older laptop and turn on document scanner it makes its ready click, it does not do that for this machine. If I turn on document scanner on both laptops, plug the scanner into the older laptop until it makes its ready click and then quickly plug it into the non working laptop it will document scan works fine until I restart either the laptop or the scanner
my output for "sudo sane-find-scanner" is: sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the result is different from what you expected, first make sure your scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.
No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x011f [EPSON Scanner]) at libusb:001:026 Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.
Not checking for parallel port scanners.
Most Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports can't be detected by this program.
my output for "scanimage -L) is No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different, check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
Does anyone have any ideas with this one? Im clueless
