Recently, I upgraded to Mageia 7.1, and I cannot get the scanner going. The printer is fine.
None of the fixes from last year works, so here Iam again, asking for your help.
My last request can be found here: viewtopic.php?f=24&t=12480&p=74052&hilit=epson+scanner#p74052
This is what I've done so far:
1. I have attempted to configure the scanner, using Control Centre (MCC), but MCC doesn't show it as a scanner.
2. I have run lsusb, with the following result:
- Code: Select all

3. I have installed, then uninstalled the SANE packages. This made no difference.
4. As root, I have run scanimage -L
sane-find-scanner -v with the following result:
- Code: Select all
[root@localhost papa]# scanimage -L
device `v4l:/dev/video0' is a Noname HP 2.0MP High Definition Webcam virtual device
[root@localhost papa]# sane-find-scanner -v
This is sane-find-scanner from sane-backends 1.0.27
# 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.

I notice that this talks about sane-find-scanner. Should I reinstall SANE?
5. I went to Epson Download Centre, hoping to install the drivers from there, as I did last year, but Epson have changed things. It shows a drives here: http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/searc ... archModule , with a download link. I clicked tha, then accepted the software licence agreement, and was shown three download options: Package Download Page, Manual, Source File Download Page.
The Package Download Page ( http://support.epson.net/linux/en/imagescanv3.php ) shows drivers for ARM, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Debian, Fedora, openSUSE, and CentOS, but not Mageia.
I downloaded the CentOS 8 64bit package, thinking that it and Mageia use RPM. When I tried to install the imagescan-3.61.0-1epson4centos8.x86_64.rpm package I received a response saying that it could not be installed due to unsatisfied GraphicsMagic. I did have the option to install it anyway, but I've chosen not to until I get advice.
6. I thought of using the same drivers I used last year, but I lost those when I installed Mageia 7.1.
I have read the post from JJF in September/October ( viewtopic.php?f=24&t=13073&p=76753&hilit=epson+scanner#p76753 ) but it did not help.
Thank you.
