Install driver for Xerox 3025 scanner not working

Support & Help Requests
#1

The below driver works on Ubuntu mate 18.04.1 only for printing.
The scanner application does not see the scanner.
On Ubuntu 14.04.5 (32 bit) the same driver worked just fine.
I tested the driver on Ubuntu mate 18.04.1 on 32 and 64 bit with firewall on AND off, but NO luck.

I installed the driver by unpaking it and right clicking on install.sh and run as administrator.
When the question about the firewall got printed in terminal, I tried with autoconfigure and with skip. I couldn't make the scanner work.

Than you.

PS. Pity that I discovered Ubuntu mate just now :slight_smile:

Hello marius-ciclistu

The information in this post may help you:

You may consider the license to be a worthwhile investment (have a look at the details, you get quite a lot for your money).
Good luck. :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks, but I have Xerox not kodak.
If there isn’t a solution for my problem, i’ll dual boot in ubuntu 14 or windows to scan, and that’s it.

Hello marius-ciclistu

If you had used the link to the “hamrick” website and looked around about a bit you would have found this:
https://www.hamrick.com/vuescan/xerox_workcentre_3025.html#technical-information

Is that your machine?
Good luck. :slightly_smiling_face:

Thank you.
I was discouraged by the “trial” word as I already payd the workcentre that cammed with the drivers (only that the guis from XEROX had no clue how to install the linux driver and I had to dig online to find out.

Solved the issue with this solution: https://askubuntu.com/a/1062147/484859

I used pluma instead of vi when editing that file.

I did not ran sudo adduser $USER lp

Hello Marius, i would like your assistance in setting up my Xerox Workcenter 3025, I have the same issue, i can not install the driver package for the scanner (the printer is working just fine), could you explain to me in steps what should I do.

Hi. There is a link to the solution above. What seems to be the issue?

After you install the xerox driver by runing install.sh from the official driver archive,

Run in terminal: sudo ln -sfr /usr/lib/sane/* /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane
This will create a symlink for the folder /usr/lib/sane/ in the second location.

Then, I updated the file /etc/sane.d/xerox_mfp.conf using the command
sudo pluma /etc/sane.d/xerox_mfp.conf
by adding the following two lines:

#Xerox WorkCentre 3025
usb 0x0924 0x42da

I saved and closed the file. And finally, reboot.

hello, I am new in Linux, i tried to run in terminal those lines but after reboot my operating system forced me to install a fresh copy of the Linux.
Could i get in touch with you on e-mail? could i call you on phone? I am from Romania.
Thanks!
