[Somewhat SOLVED] Epson L3156 Network Printer and Scanner

[Ja.KooLit]

Hi Guys,

So I am struggling for days now here and been trying lots of things but I still I couldnt get my printer to scan over network

My printer/scanner is Epson L3156, connected through wifi

First issue was printing, which was later solve. In unconventional wal

I have managed to add my printer by adding manually the LPD address which was I copied from my Arch Linux ....

if I search my printer through cups http://localhost:631, it wont see my network printer...


2nd issue, network scanner
I have set sane-backends appropriately
followed wiki
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/SANE

But still I cannot see my network scanner and I am unable to scan some things....

Just a small background, I have no issue when I have my profile set to systemd desktop with global ~amd64

now I have set my profile to
[30] default/linux/amd64/23.0/no-multilib/systemd (stable) non global ~amd64

This is fresh reinstall

any help would be much appreciated

I don't have an Epson printer, so probably cannot be much help, but are there any config files for Epson printers in the /etc/sane.d/ directory, and did you define the printer's IP address in one of those config files? For example:

[Ja.KooLit]

Than you.. you pointed me to right direction

I have edited files and add manually the epson2.conf and epsonds.conf and even saned.conf

on epson scanner tool by zugaina, I have to add manually the scanner . (does not auto detect)

on sane scan scanner and document scanner, it now detects my scanner


Anyway, atleast I can now print and scan

so seems like auto detection does not work..

Oh well lesson learned ....

Thanks alot again
