Avision FB10 Scanner Not Working on Zorin OS / Linux

Hardware Support
1

Hello everyone,

I am using Zorin OS and I have an Avision FB10 scanner, but I cannot get it to work properly.

I have already tried many possible solutions, including checking Linux scanner support, trying different commands, installing scanner-related packages, and following suggestions from ChatGPT. Unfortunately, the scanner still does not work.

The scanner is connected to my computer, but Zorin OS/Linux does not seem to recognize it correctly, or it does not scan when I try to use scanning applications.

Could anyone please help me troubleshoot this issue?

Here are the details:

  • OS: Zorin OS
  • Scanner model: Avision FB10
  • Connection type: USB
  • Problem: Scanner not working / not detected / unable to scan

I would appreciate guidance on:

  1. How to check whether the scanner is detected by the system
  2. Which drivers or packages are required
  3. Whether this scanner is supported by SANE on Linux
  4. Any commands I should run and share here for debugging

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello and welcome, you can try this
Install the Avision backend:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install sane sane-backends libsane-avision

Then reload SANE:

sudo systemctl restart saned

After installation, test detection again:

scanimage -L

Welcome to the Forum!

Maybe the Program Skanlite could work. Should be at least worth a Try.

Also:

  • Are Secure Boot and Fast Boot in BIOS disabled?
  • If Windows is still installed: Is Fast Start-Up in Windows disabled?
  • Does Your System run in Wayland of X11? You can check that with the Terminal Command echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
