SOLVED:EPSON PX700W AIO over network.Scanning
I am using this all-in-one via it's network(eth) interface (192.168.1.12) on the KDE desktop : printing works perfectly all of the time ,but scanning is erratic :
- via Xsane it scans sometimes but mostly it does not with an error message like "error during device I/O"
-via skanlite it never works :same message
It does so on two computers (ARCH 64-bit) since a few days, after a new install,before it all worked.
The scanning element starts scanning , but stops before finishing the the scan
Scanimage -l gives me the right scanner name

Re: SOLVED:EPSON PX700W AIO over network.Scanning
Do you see anything in your logs?
What happens if you use sane rather than xsane? - command line tools often give more helpful and verbose errors.

I see nothing in the logs.
Sane doesn't seem to be a program on its own: I think it's scanimage.

My bad, I haven't used it in a while. Sorry about that.
Scanimage -l gives me the right scanner name
What about the following:
scanimage > image.pnmas in the manual?

To /dev/zero : scanimage > image.pnm gives "sane_start: Invalid argument"

Okay, this is a good start. Now try googling for that error message. I see several results for it.

Re: SOLVED:EPSON PX700W AIO over network.Scanning
For those interested:for an Epson AIO over ethernet.
1) Install & configure alsa & cups. Put cupsd and saned in /etc/rc.conf.
2) Install iscan,iscan-data and iscan-plugin-network from the AUR
3) edit /etc/sane.d/epkowa.conf and add a line : net "ip of your network printer" (in my case : 192.168.1.12 1865) and save.
4) edit /usr/share/iscan-data fs-blacklist and remove your model name (in my case Artisan700-Epsons have different names in EU and USA) and save.
5) reboot
6) scan over your network.
