I know this topic hasn't been active since 2017, but I just wanted to add that I had had scanner problems for years!  I have been using Linux Lite since 2.8, but now on 5.8 and for both my old HP All-in-One printer and now my Epson ET-2720, the scanner function has been hit and miss.  I have followed god knows how many HowTos and so on.  Tonight nothing worked, til I googled "Linux Lite scanner not found" and this post came up as the first return.

Followed the instructions in this post and it worked like a dream! No guessing which of the six names for the same scanner to use, blah, blah...

I have just spent a very worth while thirty Euros and will happily ignore step 5 of the above insructions :D

Vusscan is able to automatically detect any brand and model.

Hello,


If during installation of a scanner unit (or all-in-one unit), your scanner is not recognized, you may try this solution :


[size=78%]1 - download Vuescan software from :   https://www.hamrick.com/[/size]
2 - install the .deb file you just downloaded
3 - run it, and after 2 minutes it will find your scanner unit
4 - you will be able to use any other other scanner software (simplescan, Xsane, ....)
5 - you don't need anymore to run Vuescan

Hope it may help !
Have a nice day.

Which make/model of scanner did you get this driver to work on?

64bit OS (32-bit on Samsung netbook) installed in Legacy mode on MBR-formatted SSDs (except pi which uses a micro SDHC card):
2017 - Raspberry pi 3B (4cores) ~ [email protected] - LibreElec, used for upgrading our Samsung TV (excellent for the task)  
2012 - Lenovo G580 2689 (2cores; 4threads] ~ [email protected] - LL3.8/Win8.1 dual-boot (LL working smoothly)
2011 - Samsung NP-N145 Plus (1core; 2threads) ~ Intel Atom [email protected] - LL 3.8 32-bit (64-bit too 'laggy')
2008 - Asus X71Q (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6/Win8.1 dual-boot, LL works fine with kernel 4.15
2007 - Dell Latitude D630 (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6, works well with kernel 4.4; 4.15 doesn't work
