Weird scanner problem, no program works but vuescan

Today i installed my epson xp-201 printer/scanner to scan some photos. I was able to scan once, but when i want to scan another photo, it never worked again.
When i ran scanimage -L, i saw the scanner just once too, and it never appeared again. I changed the usb cable, and rebooted the system several times with same results.
But, vuescan works perfect. It's so weird...
Thanks in advance!

Apologies if this is classified as thread necromancy, but this was extremely helpful! Such a simple thing fixed it for my Epson XP-215.
Having to do this as root is not exactly an ideal solution! However in my case I think that the problems are not yet triaged and there are many reported issues running scanners with usb3 ports on the machine they are connected to, with analogous posts on forums for a number of different linux distributions. I have also more recently been engaged in a developer thread on the xsane dev list and provided diagnostics as best I can, but it is still not clear whether there are issues with the usb code in the kernel, the libusb code or within sane itself. I was able to get at the packet stream whilst the scanner failed using usb debugging and capturing the stream with wireshark. However the developers have not been able to tie down what the problem is so this is ongoing.
In your case it would be interesting to know if you were using a usb3 or a usb2 port on the computer?

I am unable to open my Photoshop program after installing the entire Creative Suite: Premium Production 6. All other programs work, but with Photoshop it says that the program is "locked or in use by another user". I need this fixed immediately.

I am unable to open my Photoshop program after installing the entire Creative Suite: Premium Production 6. All other programs work, but with Photoshop it says that it "Could not open a scratch file because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock the file." Then I select "OK" and the next message comes up "Could not initialize Photoshop because the file is locked, you do not have the necessary permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock this file. I installed all of the programs on the same day from a CD. I need this fixed immediately.
I am not interested in switching to Creative Cloud, so don't even suggest it. I spoke to Mashmi (or something to that effect) on the "Support" Chat and there was absolutely no support. Useless actually.
Thanks in advance.

Program works but..........

My program works. It is a program to track rainfall during a week. You enter in a number, hit enter, then click the box and the number will appear in the box. The problem is you can click outside of the box and get the same results. How can I get it to when you click outside the box, nothing will happen, only when you click inside the box something will happen. I hope this makes sense.

Scanner problems LIDE60, only works with XSane, but Xsane is buggy!!

Hello everyone, I'm trying to get my LIDE 60 scanner working properly with Arch.
Xsane work OK with it, but it doesn't seem to work with anything else (I installed gnome-scan and sane-pygtk from AUR).
Both these apps do not see it at all.
I like XSANE, but there is a bug with it: I cannot select the area I want to scan in the preview area.
When I try to drag/enlarge/move the selection box, it dissapears and goes elsewhere on the window...
(I would PREFER fixing Xsane, but in the meantime, would like to try other apps)

For a plan B, if there's a straightforward way to custom compile my own kernel, I'd like to try a slightly older one to see if I have better luck. This same model of scanner is working fine on a 3.5 kernel, for example.

Problem with program working on WF Terminal through SAPConsole

Dear all,
I have some WF Terminals, Terminal server with SAPConsole and Z-transaction. The problem is that this Z-transaction works fine on my computer through SAP GUI. But when I start it on WF Terminal (Barcode scanner) it works only till the moment when the data changes (BAPI calls). It writes "Processing" on the screen and after some time the session terminates. I tried to use BDC call of transaction MB1B instead of BAPI - the same result. Works fine on my computer but "Processing" and terminate on Barcode scanner.
May be I should do some tunes for the barcode terminal or something else?
Please, help me!

Here is the solution I have eventually found :
1- Application of the OSS note 559276 which enables the customizing of the workflow variant (the transaction OBWD becomes here effective)
2- Assignment of the documents types, workflow variants and release approval groups with the transaction OBWD.
Therefore, the document types that are not defined in the transaction OBWD will not require validation (no workflow will be launched).
SL

Program works but background job for that program fails....

I have a requirement where I have to collect the details of the purchase order and put the details in XML file format and FTP the XML file to an external third party FTP Server.
To realize this I developed a report program which follows following logic.
1)     First I collected the PO details by calling the BAPI BAPI_PO_GETDETAIL1.
2)     Then using the following link "/people/r.eijpe/blog/2005/11/10/xml-dom-processing-in-abap-part-i--convert-an-abap-table-into-xml-file-using-sap-dom-approach
I converted these PO details to the XML file format that the third party people accept.
       In the code I used u201CCALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_downloadu201D and in this process first the XML file is generated and is getting stored on my deskytop.
3)     Then I called HTTP_SCRAMBLE, FTP_CONNECT, FTP_COMMAND , FTP_DISCONNECT and RFC_CONNECTION_CLOSE.
This works perfectly well and each time I execute the report the file is getting FTPu2019ed to the third party FTP server.
Now I tried to schedule a batch job for this and the batch job fails with follwing errors
02/25/2009 15:08:47 Error in Control Framework
Message Class = FES
Message Number = 022
Message Type   = E
02/25/2009 15:08:47 Job cancelled after system exception ERROR_MESSAGE
Message Class = 00
Message Number = 564
Message Type   = A
Can some one tell me what is going wrong. My report works perfect in front end but fails if I try to schedule a background job for it in SM36.
Can you please tell me whatz going wrong with batch job? Any Help is highly appreciated.
Regards,
JEssica SAm

Robert...Thanks for the reply...
I am using follwing code
l_xml_size = l_ostream->get_num_written_raw( ).
    CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download
      EXPORTING
        bin_filesize = l_xml_size
        filename     = FILEPATH
        filetype     = 'BIN'
      CHANGING
        data_tab     = l_xml_table
      EXCEPTIONS
        OTHERS       = 24.
    IF sy-subrc <> 0.
      MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
                 WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
Now what changes should i make..where should i store my XML file then instead of my desktop?
and whih Function Module should i Use..

Pavilion dv7 laptop ac adapter problem. It works, but Windows 7 does not recognize it anymore.

The ac adapter works, and the battery remains at 100%, but the icon never switches from battery to AC. The laptop will not turn on without the battery and just AC, yet the adapter keeps the battery charged at 100%. Windows 7 will not perform some of the updates when it thinks it is running on battery.
Any ideas?

I am having the same issue with my G61. I apologize in advance for hi jacking your post and leaving such a long reply but maybe it will help both of us in the long run.
The problem started off by everyonce in a while my battery icon showing my battery needed replaced. I ran the battery tool and it said the battery was bad. I eventually replaced the battery to no avail. Here is everything that I have done and noted while dealing with this problem. After replacing the battery the battery tool would not run saying that in order for the test to work the AC adapter needs to be plugged in (computer will only work with the AC adapter plugged in). If I am using the computer and the adapter happens to come unplugged it almost instantly goes into a permenant sleep and I have to hard reset and plug the adapter back in in order to use the laptop.
The icon at the bottom of the screen does not show the battery charging. It only shows the battery in good standing and its current power level. If I remove the battery it changes to no battery present.
Some wierd things that are going on are the computer will boot up on battery power alone but as soon as windows is loading at the desktop it will go back into permenant sleep and will have to hard reset. Also the computer will not power on with the battery removed and the AC adapter plugged in but all my power indicators are lit up showing its getting power.
I just recently upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate and performed all the updates thinking that maybe that would fix the problem. But it did not. Although now when I run the battery tool it does not tell me to plug in the AC adapter. It goes through the process and tell me that everyting is OK and my battery checks out fine.
One thing that gives me hope that its a software issue is that I have no issue using the battery when running Windows in any version of SAFE MODE. I can run it till the battery dies without it going into permenant sleep.
I have read that it could be a motherboard issue but not sure how to verify. Any help to help us figure this out would be fantabulous.

Problems with template working but not working...

Ok, so I have a template I’m using in Dreamweaver 8
– it’s working out well, with 3 editable regions, and
I'm using a couple of stylesheets as well. Unfortunately
something’s happened to the template though – I’m
able to apply it to all my pages, but within DW itself the template
is showing up as being unstylized.... you know how a page looks
when it doesn’t have a stylesheet attached – that plain
white and black? That’s how my template (and all my pages
which use the template) looks
*within* DW. If I open up the HTML files created from the
template, they'll show up fine in Firefox or Safari - but from
within Dreamweaver itself it's like it's not recognizing the
stylesheet in a way. The path is there correctly - just some how my
template is getting in the way :(
Has this happened to anyone? Any ideas on how to rectify it?
I've got a main stylesheet attached (globalstylesheet.css) but I've
never had this problem before. Help!

Hi Murray,
thanks for posting. Yes, I usually just do a child from the
template and cut and paste - would that be why the template got
screwed up.
This is really frustrating me, since the joy of DW is the
ability to view the code AND the WYSIWYG panel at the same time -
but I have no such luck right now... help!

Form auth problem? action work but link not work??

Hi all,
I try to use form auth to securite my site, but I have problem at
my login page is point to formlogin servlet , I use
getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher
("/secure/search2.html");to sdirect all correct login action to my sequences.html file and have group of action, jump to other page,this step work fine. but the problem my search1 file also on my secure folder , when I click the search1 link it jump to login page. what is wrong ?? is because I have
<url-pattern>/secure/*</url-pattern>in my web xml page? or other problems?
how to deal with it ? by the way I have some duck dollars left , but i can't use it , why??
and how to deal

Julio,
Good point. Exactly why I recommend not to use referenced code. libraries are the only way to go when sharing forms code. Just to many headaches when using referenced code.
Just my 2c.

My program works but..... please help

heres my problem. my applet asks a math question ( what is x * y ) and user inputs answer in jtext field. when answer is correct, status bar displays " very good!"
if incorrect, status bar displays " sorry, try again". it does this fine, however when the user answer correctly a new problem should be painted on the applet. thats where my problem is, i cant get it to refresh the question.
here is a summary of my code.
public void init()
container....
Jtextfield....
public void paint( Graphics g)
paints the question here
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent actionEvent)
if / elsestatements checking if answer is correct
public int calculation()
math.random() class method
i know i need to put a while loop in there but i dont know where and i dont know how to call the method that needs to be called. any guidance is greatly appreciated.
thanks

add stuff like this. Everything that is bolded add. NOTE, I am assuming calculate is your button.
boolean flag = false;
public void init()
container....
Jtextfield....
public void paint( Graphics g)
paints the question here
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent actionEvent)
if(actionEvent.getSource() == calculate){
flag = true;
if / elsestatements checking if answer is correct
if(flag){
repaint();
flag = false;
public int calculation()
math.random() class method
}If this works could I have some Duke Dollars?

Firefox won't load any pages at all! I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program, but no luck. My IE works, but I much prefer Firefox! Help?

Early this morning, my firefox was working perfectly fine. Yet this evening, it won't load any web pages - only IE will. (I hate IE, much prefer FF!)
I tried to uninstall then reinstall firefox, but it didn't help at all. I've tried tons of different sites, but nothing is coming up.
What do I do?

I had this problem where I work but it was fine on my home pc. When Firefox upgraded, it detected a proxy on my work network and started to use it even though my previous settings were set to no proxy.
Now all my pages load and my 'find updates' for addons work.

Scan works, print says it works but doesn't

Hi all! Everyone seems to have the opposite problem - wireless printing works but scan doesn't. Not me! I can choose "scan" from my printer OR computer interface and it starts right up. Problem is, when I go to print it goes through the "printing" screen then says "print job complete" (no hangups or errors or something in the print queue to delete - it's in the queue then it disappears as though printed), but...no business results on the printer end!
Before you ask, yes the printer works (can print from SD card inserted directly to printer, or from old computer connected via network). Yes I have turned everything off and back on. Yes I tried downloading the HP print & scan doctor, and it says everything is fine, sees ink levels etc, but its test page behaves the same as any other print job. Yes I have deleted the whole HP shebang and re-downloaded and re-searched/connected my computer via the wireless network. And, as aforementioned, it scans. Oh, and tells me my ink levels! So clearly there is communication, just not for this. What weird sub-setting am I missing?
And also, if you can resolve this, can you give me an idea whether it is suddenly going to start printing the 80 pages or so that I've tried to beam over, so I can stop it? : )
Thanks muchly!
This question was solved.

Hi @theshrew
Please try bypassing the spooler to see if you can print directly to the printer.
1. Click on start and go to devices and printers.
2. Right click on the printer and click on printer properties.
3. Choose the option "Print directly to the printer".
4. Click apply and then ok.
If this works follow the next steps and try to print again.
Hold down the Windows Logo key () on the keyboard and the 'R' to open the run box
Type services.msc and press Enter
Locate Print Spooler and double click on it to open the Spooler properties
Make sure startup type is set to Automatic, if it is not please click on the drop down and choose Automatic
Under Service status, please Stop the server, and then wait a moment and click Start
If bypassing the spooler does not result in a successful print, let me know.
Also, what printer model do you have? How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Are you getting any error message, or does a blank page print? The more detail I have the better
