Default Epson scanner returns blank scans

Is the scanner lamp lighting ?


If is wasn't, wouldn't you expect a *black* image rather than a white
one? Besides, the OP says he does see a preview, and you can't make a
preview if your lamp doesn't work.

No, he doesn't say that he *sees* a preview, he says that it carries one
out - and also "scans" when tasked to do so. From this, I infer that he
means that he hears it responding in the normal way in both cases, as the
lamp carriage traverses the document bed. I am pretty sure that one I had
some long time ago, just produced a blank scan when the lamp driver circuit
failed, rather than a black image.
