Lexamark scanner no longer detected by sane
« on: July 25, 2011, 06:02:55 AM »
KDE4 fully updated. Kernel 2.6.38.8-pclos1

I have a Lexmark 1190 AIO scanner which worked fine but now it's not detected. Problem is I'm not sure when it borked because it doesn't get that much use. But as the saying goes, it worked before.

/usr/bin/sane-find-scanner says my web cam is detected and my DVB devices are seen as potential scanners but my Lexmark is nowhere to be seen.

The printer side of it still all works perfectly and is used every day..

Code: [Select]
]# /usr/bin/sane-find-scanner

  # 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.

  # Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by
  # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.

scanimage -L says:
