My Epson V300 scanner worked fine under 12.3, and before that under 12.2 and other distros. But after upgrading to 13.1 I cannot get it working.
Epson provides drivers here (I think one needs to accept their terms to actually see the list), and based on the information here I installed iscan-data-1.25.0-1.noarch.rpm , followed by iscan-2.29.3-1.usb0.1.ltdl7.x86_64.rpm . These are more recent editions of the same drivers that I used successfully with prior OpenSUSE versions. Somewhere there was a report that xsane is no longer included with 13.1, so I installed it too.
Simple-scan just says "no scanners detected" and I got similar messages from a couple of other scanner programs.
Here's the output from "lsusb"
Here's the last dozen or so lines from "dmesg | grep usb"
Scanimage -L says "no scanners were identified." Same result as root and as ordinary user
Using Yast to "configure a scanner" I get these options, neither of which seems to work:
I did find a problem with Epson scanning reported on the beta version of 13.1, which seems to have been a bug which I hope would have been fixed (I'm not sure where to look to confirm this). That report concerns a printer/scanner/fax device, whereas my V300 is just a scanner.
I did try rebooting the scanner quite a few times, and rebooting the computer twice, with no success.
I hope somebody here will suggest what I ought to try next.
