The device in question is an Epson WF-3640. I have been able to get this device to work as a network scanner / printer with every version of ubuntu since 14.04 but the previous path of installing the iScan bundle and changing the dll.conf / epkowa files in /etc/sane.d no longer seems to work.



Install of iScan bundle 1.04:

No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something
different, check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and
detected by the sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read
the documentation which came with this software (README, FAQ,
manpages).




Any ideas how I can go at it to get the scanner to work again? atm I boot into a 16.04 System to scan but id prefer being able to switch to 17.10 entirely.

          How to enroll fingerprints to Ubuntu 17.10 with VFS491

          Image
          Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 1 down vote favorite I decided to switch from Windows to Ubuntu 17.10, I meet it like 8 years ago and I didn't decided to switch until now (haha). Well, my actual device is an HP Probook 4540s with a Validity fingerprint sensor (VFS491). The fingerprint sensor worked fine on Windows but I can't get it to work in Ubuntu. The device is recognized as 138a:003d but is not detected as a fingerprint scanner by some apps like Fingerprint GUI. I want to use the fingerprint scanner to log in into my user account in Ubuntu but it doesn't supports fingerprints without special software and the drivers of the fingerprint scanner are available for Windows but not for any Linux distribution. I found something on GitHub (https://github.com/eekpie/libfprint) about the integration of the VFS491 in libfprint and I think it can help but I don't know what to do with it, so that's why I need the help of the community to do it since I am...
