<p><font face="Arial">Dear Sir or Madam,</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">Can you offer some advice please. My new Epson
XP4100 printer / scanner works for printing, but not for
scanning, XSANE detects the device but on any scan command it
reports "Failed to Start Scanner: Error during device I/O"</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">I have followed all instructions on this help
page;<br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial"><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SaneDaemonTutorial?action=show&redirect=sane.d+tutorial">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SaneDaemonTutorial?action=show&redirect=sane.d+tutorial</a></font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">And after making all the recommended changes,
when I run </font>'sudo saned service status' I get</p>
<p>● saned.service<br>
Loaded: masked (/dev/null; bad)<br>
Active: inactive (dead)</p>
<p>Even then, the Sane scan program starts but gives the I/O error.</p>
<p>I have installed drivers for my Ubuntu 18.04 OS from the Epson
website, and also a file to detect the Epson scanner, which is
detected, but it will not connect.</p>
<p>Any advice would be appreciated.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Tony Morton<br>
