Simple Scan shows webcam instead of scanner

[mackissack]

Hi.
Just installed Simple Scan on a recently updated Fedora 27 system.
I have an Epson L565 printer and scanner.
Simple Scan shows "Noname USB camera as scanning device.

Before upgrading to Fedora 27, I had Image Scan installed.
Though a bit more sophisticated, it did read the scanner.
After the upgrade, it didn't show up anymore.

Skanlite and Xsane are also detecting "Noname USB camera".

I ran

[root@hy ahm]# sane-find-scanner

  # sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the
  # result is different from what you expected, first make sure your
  # scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.

  # No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that
  # you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.

What can the problem be?

I could find a solution, thanks to Tquilha in his thread

He lead to the Epson site
http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/se...h/searchModule
When selecting to download Scanner Driver, this page opens
http://support.epson.net/linux/en/im...version=1.3.23

In my case, I downloaded the Fedora 27 drivers to a folder within the Downloads folder.
Then I installed the drivers

[root@hy /]# rpm -ivh /home/ahm/Descargas/Epson-L565/Scanner/imagescan-bundle-fedora-27-1.3.23.x64.rpm/core/imagescan-3.33.0-1epson4fedora27.x86_64.rpm

In my case, instruction

[root@hy /]# sane-find-scanner

showed no positive results.

But Image Scan was installed.
And Simple Scan detected the Epson-L565 scanner.
Xsane detected it too showing the possibility to choose between the "Noname USB camera" and the Epson-L565 scanner.
However, Xsane couldn't open the scanner.

However, Xsane couldn't open the scanner.

I have found that rebooting the actual scanner, after installing everything, sometimes works. At least in my HP MFP.
