I need help getting Sane/XSane (scanner) working on Debian.
This is a fresh install of Debian Jessie. I previously had no trouble with scanning via Ubuntu on the exact same computer/scanner/printer setup. Printing is fine on both OS's. It's just scanning that won't work on Debian.
When I attempt scanning, I can hear the scanner moving, but then an error occurs before the image shows up. Here are the errors:
-using XSane: "Error during read: Error during device I/O."
-using Simple Scan: "Failed to scan Error communicating with scanner"
----
I also tried using Sane directly from command line, and this is what I get:
#root@debianos:/home/me# sane-find-scanner
found USB scanner (vendor=0x040a [Eastman Kodak Company], product=0x4066 [KODAK ESP Office 2170 Series]) at libusb:001:008
#root@debianos:/home/me# scanimage -L
device `v4l:/dev/video0' is a Noname HD WebCam virtual device
device `kodakaio:libusb:001:008' is a Kodak KODAK ESP Office 2170 Series flatbed scanner
#root@debianos:/home/me# scanimage -d kodakaio --format pnm > [login to view URL]
scanimage: sane_read: Error during device I/O
----
Other things I have tried:
-running XSane/SimpleScan as user or "root" does not make any difference (same error).
-commented out all irrelevant devices in /etc/sane.d/[login to view URL]
-confirmed that /lib/udev/rules.d/[login to view URL] listed my scanner's correct vendor/product ID (it did).
----
Again, I have no trouble scanning using Ubuntu on the same computer/scanner combo, so I'm thinking this should be possible on Debian.

Thanks for reading all that. Hope someone can help!
I can help you. We can use teamviewer to do this. I am a linux user for a long time, and currently doing master's on computer science. Let me know if you wanna know something more.
