ds-870 support

[agoodm88]

Hello,

Long shot, but is this likely to support the DS-870?

In Windows, using Epson Scan 2 the button works assuming you opened EpsonScan2 first.

In Linux, using Ubuntu 24.04 the button doesnt work - eg open the EpsonScan2 gui, press the scan button and nothing happens. Naturally therefore I guess its not unexpected that its not working with es2button. After pressing the button the scanner shows checking jobs followed by a communication error type message.

I also tried the EpsonScan2 gui with the scanner attached to a network interface, but again no dice.

Hey,

short answer: I don't know.

I only have a DS-310 for which I can try it out. So, I guess, give it a shot?

I gave it a go, the scanner just sits there 'waiting for job' or something along those lines.

Ah, I see. I thought this was with just the original software, sorry I misunderstood.

Can you paste the exact error here, then I can maybe see if there is something wrong with es2button or if this is something in the driver.

Could you provide an overview of how you would like me to collect the logs? So far I've not found any output from es2button.

You can use journalctl -f which will attach you to the general syslog where es2button will log to and when you press the button you should see some output.

OK, installed epsonscan2. In Ubuntu: Scanner works when you start the scan from within the software. Pressing the button causes a message on the screen: "Checking job(s)..." which eventually turns into an error: Communication error. Check the connection and software version.

In Windows: If the software is open pressing the button starts the scan.

After installing es2button: Literally cant see anything relevant looking in the logs at all, button press or not.
