I downloaded the All-In-One package for the SX420, as this was the one listed for my specific printer, extracted it, and ran intall.sh in a terminal.

The output was as follows:

draganglas@draganglas-M570U:~/iscan-bundle-1.0.0.x86.deb$ ./install.sh

I ran a update but this hasn't solved the issue re dependency problems.

I'm uncertain how to get the required dependencies resolved.

Although my background's in IT, I'm still learning Linux, so go easy on my!

Kindest regards,

James

Try installing package simple-scan: apt-get install simple-scan

It works for me with XP-202 203 203 Series Good luck!

  • Greetings, Thank you for the reply, Andrew. As it happens, I then suffered a GPU problem, which resulted in my having to reinstall Ubuntu. I also had to re-add the printer - it appears to be working fine (both printing and scanning). Whatever had caused it not to work has now been resolved. This thread can be closed.
