RE: Gimp 3.x scanner xsane plugin is now available! - rich2005 - 03-17-2026
I see the problem but I do not have a fix. Not many EndevourOS (or Arch) users on this forum but maybe someone will respond.
I see from your specs that the display is Wayland. That might be the problem although the plugin was updated for that
see: https://yingtongli.me/git/gimp-xsanecli/commit/ed3ec287c2858af7302069a7e545f289755e7b95 Check that you are using the latest plugin.
Is XWayland also installed ?
Otherwise, the usual checks.
In a terminal start xsane - does it work ?
This is my usual wireless printer/scanner rather than that other USB scanner, which is easier to set up. The wireless scanner opens up xsane as (warnings but it works)
[attachment=14321]
Start Gimp in a terminal gimp --verbose and when open File -> Create -> Xsane via CLI Look for any error messages in the terminal.
You might be better off asking in the EndevourOS forum.

Still no fix for you but I have seen that sort of error message before. It might / ( might not ) be the XSANE version.

That comes from my old laptop, kubuntu 24.04 and at the time of installation XSANE just did not work at all. Not stand-alone, not with Gimp. I use a patched, compiled version which at least runs stand-alone, so I put up with scan-to-file, then open file in Gimp.
I know zero about Arch based distros but maybe ask if there are other versions of XSANE.
