It is not possible that the mentioned applications will not localize the scanner device. I used HP-scanjet-G2710 & Epson Scan-L475 (It's kind of outrageous.)...

You need to configure the drivers, all frontend applications will fail if the scanner isn't properly configured to work with SANE.
For the Epson, can't be preinstalled with GeckoLinux, download and follow the README instructions: https://download2.ebz.epson.net/imagescanv3/opensuse/latest1/rpm/x64/imagescan-bundle-opensuse-15.2-3.65.0.x64.rpm.tar.gz
The necessary SANE backend for the HP is already installed with GeckoLinux: http://www.sane-project.org/man/sane-hp3900.5.html
Hi, the problem seems to be here again. I tried to use Hp Scanjet 3880, that is working with, for instance, OpenSuse Leap 15.3, but the Sane does not find any scanner at all. The same with a pc where I have installed OpenSuse Tumbleweed. By the way my version of Gecko is rolling Plasma.
Hi @gioKheper , please make sure that the sane-backends
package is still installed. It is pre-installed in GeckoLinux and includes the sane-hp3900 backend needed for your printer.

Hi, thank you. For what I can see the file hp3900.conf is there under /etc/sane.d directory and is configured as it should be. I tried to reinstall sane-backends, now at version 1.1.1-1.4, both on tumbleweed and on gecko, but with the same results, i.e. skanlite cannot find the scanner and ask to reload the list of scanners. I do not know if I am missing something else.
Could you also please check if sane-backends-autoconfig
is installed?
Yes, it is installed both on Gecko and on Tumbleweed
OK, thanks for confirming that. Could you please post your /etc/sane.d/dll.conf
from GeckoLinux and from a working vanilla openSUSE installation?
dll.conf.zip This is the one from the working OpenSuse 15.3
dll.conf.zip Thank you again. Hi this is the one from Gecko. I noticed that in this one the line hp3900 is commented, so I tried commenting it out and now it is working. I do not know why the dll.conf are different because I did not touch them, but now it is working. By the way my scanner is not connected via network, but just via an USB port.
Glad you figured it out. It looks like the dll.conf
that openSUSE ships (and thus what GeckoLinux uses) has all the backends commented by default. I wonder if you used the YaST Scanner tool under Leap 15.3 to automatically enable the hp3900 backend. But thanks for bringing this up, it looks like things could be optimized a bit for out-of-the-box scanner functionality in GeckoLinux.
Well, I am not sure I used Yast.scanner for openSuse 15.3. I tried to use it with Tumbleweed and I got 2 strange things:
Hopefully improved in the latest GeckoLinux release.
