I'm using Hirsute Hippo and Lexmark supplies a driver which supports a USB scanner using Xsane. All was well until I moved and reset up the computer. Now Xsane 0.999 cannot detect the scanner. Changed my USB port. Re-downloaded the driver and used Ubuntu software to install it Tried to download Libsane extras but cannot locate the package. GIMP XSane plugin was another suggested solution but cannot find it.

  • here's a link for libsane packages packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libsane, see if any of this helps. Otherwise I'm not sure how just moving your computer could affect this.

    Investigate: sudo journalctl --since="-5 minutes" within 4 minutes of reconnecting the scanner. Also, find the device name: ls -lrt /dev | tail. Does the device have group rw? E.g. -rw-rw----?

Seemed to be missing libsum and libsum-dev which I added with Synaptic. Xsane still starts but never gets beyond "Searching for devices" and then I get an error message saying Xsane is not responding.
