Dear all,<div><br></div><div>Since it's been year or so asking for help and I great full for your reply but the problem doesn't get solved till date. </div><div>So after the last query I tried some other method like installing the older version of sane, installing the older versions of distros in which sometimes it works but I cannot save the log as it's not confirm the try you are making will work or not, it's like one in hundredths try , I will say only one time it works then never. Futher I tried it with Windows OS where I found out that it only save in BMP file format not in any other format with its old Scan and Fax software only not with modern softwares. It feels like it works on old concept of scanning so would love to hear your say in this.</div><div><br></div><div>Thankyou <br><br>On Wednesday, April 27, 2022, jitesh pandey <<a

This certainly seems to be the source of the problem. <br>
<br>
Firstly, I would check that the scanner doesn't require some manual
operation to ready it for USB scanning.<br>
<br>
Secondly, since we don't have access to the Kyocera SANE backend
source, perhaps we could get some more info from libusb:<br>
<br>
<span><span>LIBUSB_DEBUG=10 </span></span>scanimage
-d kyocera_gdi_a3 -T<br>
<br>
There is likely to be a lot of output. <br>
Perhaps stick into a file and give us a link to somewhere to
download, or if the problematic part is obvious, then give let us
see that segment with a bit of surrounding context.<br>
<br>
