[sane-devel] Out of Memory Error

Thu Aug 26 12:17:33 BST 2021

Running Mint 20.2  I get an "Out of memory" error when I try to scan.

My scanner is a Brother DCP-J7720W which is wireless connected,

If I run from a terminal I see a pop up saying

"Failed to open device 'escl:http://localhost:80': Out of memory"

This is what I see in the terminal -

mick at Mint20Desk:~$ xsane
file.xml:1: parser error : Space required after the Public Identifier
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
                                                  ^
file.xml:1: parser error : SystemLiteral " or ' expected
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
                                                  ^

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">

file.xml:9: parser error : Opening and ending tag mismatch: body line 0 
and html
</body></html>
               ^
file.xml:10: parser error : EndTag: '</' not found

^

To fix another memory problem in September last year I did -

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sane-project/sane-git
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt install libsane libsane-common sane-utils

That is still in place.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks
