[SOLVED] scanimage: EPSON GT-X830 sane_start: Invalid argument

I am trying to use scanimage to use EPSON GT-X830 scanner for a basic scan. I have installed sane-airscan and also installed iscan as it has support for the scanner that I'm trying to use, as listed here.

I could not find the " DFSG non-free iscan-plugin-gt-x830" package in the AUR although packages for some of the scanners are availble.

I've also add the following line to the files /etc/sane.d/epkowa.conf and epson.conf:

usb 0x04b8 0x0153

When I run 

scanimage --format=png --output-file test.png --progress

I get the an errory saying "scanimage: sane_start: Invalid argument".

The output of `lsusb' lists the scanner so it is connected for sure.

I tried this and now there is no errors. The command runs properly without producing any errors but for some reason, it also does not produce an output file. A file is produced if I redirect things but trying to open it with feh results in the following output:

What exactly did you try? Just installing that package or did you modify it to use the gt-x830 download?

I think I do but I don't exactly know what to change.

There were four files in iscan-plugin-gt-x820
1. gt-x820.install
2. PKGBUILD
3. iscan-gt-x820-bundle-2.30.4.x64.rpm.tar.gz
4. iscan-plugin-gt-x820-2.2.1-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst


I renamed "gt-x820.install" to "gt-x830.install" and changed the product id from 0x013a to 0x0153 in that file. Plus changed the pkgname and source in the PKGBUILD, I don't know how to or what to modify in md5sums or sha256sums vars.

I downloaded the rpm iscan-gt-x830-bundle-2.30.4.x64.rpm.tar.gz from here. I don't know what the last file is or where I can get an equivalent for my scanner.

Nonetheless, when I run makepkg I get 

==> Validating source files with md5sums...
    iscan-gt-x830-bundle-2.30.4.x64.rpm.tar.gz ... FAILED
==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check!

Probably something is not right with the checksums. Is there another way I can validate the checksums? I'm a bit confused here honestly because, in my knowledge rpm packages are supposed to be specific for red hat based distros.
I really believe the scanner will work if I can get this right.

Wow thanks. I was able to generate the checksums for the builds but like I mentioned I could find a replacement for  iscan-plugin-gt-x820-2.2.1-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst.

The output of the makepkg is as follows:

This is expected because I don't have a file name iscan-plugin-gt-x830-2.2.1-1.x86_64.pkg.tar.zst that bsdtar can extract.

Re: [SOLVED] scanimage: EPSON GT-X830 sane_start: Invalid argument

iscan-plugin-gt-x820-2.2.1-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst is the result of running makepkg for the original PKGBUILD.
iscan-plugin-gt-x830-2.2.1-1.x86_64.rpm is a file inside the bundle file you downloaded.
You'll have to fix the version numbers in the PKGBUILD so the correct rpm plugin file can be found
You'll also have to modify the installscript.

Here are the changes I think are needed, at least makepkg builds the package:

I was scrapping the internet like crazy for that file. Also I had most of the diffs already applied, except:

 }

Applying those mods fixed the issues and the scanner is working now. How did you get the get the pkgversion and the .bin firmware? Also how can I upload this directory to the AUR so that others can benefit from this build in the future?

I would really like to thank both you guys for helping me with this. Thank you so much! I am marking it as solved now.

Exactly, though I just used the standard archive tools  (bsdtar -xf or file-roller work just fine). Edit: You could also look at the files makepkg puts in the src/pkg directory during a failed run.
