Ubuntu 20.04 - Simplescan ignores feeder on OKI ES8453 MFP

pk flag

The voluntary association I am trying to help had the local authorities to install Ubuntu 20.04 on four desktops on Ethernet.

The MFP printers were installed automatically and print okay, but scanning from PC only works from flatbed, even if you order it to use the Document Feeder.

The social authorities should service Ubuntu, but we don't have much hope that they will use the time it takes to solve the problem, and no one else is allowed to do it.

I sincerely hoped to be able to solve the problem myself on my own Ubuntu laptops to be able to tell the local authorities how to do it, but I am stuck.

Our most important MFP is an OKI ES8453 MFP, and the other one is an HP Color LaserJet Pro M477fdw.

I also tried to get this working with Ubuntu 16.04, but only the OKI printer was found automatically.

The Ubuntu installations have simple-scan installed, but not xSane.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
