      We don't know if getting your Ubuntu properly updated will make a difference, but it's insane to try anything else until you've done that.

          YOu can ask more questions, but you need to do the first thing that we said to do first. You are not doing the most basic troubleshooting steps. But you keep asking other questions, instead of moving forward with seeing what will fix it.

          Here's the big question: why are you avoiding upgrading Ubuntu to the current version?

            Since the upgrade is not LTS some bugs may be there so only not Upgraded

              That is the only way to fix issues, you got to check the bugs. You will be surprised the things we need to troubleshoot everyday to get up to date.

                Here's the big question: why are you avoiding upgrading Ubuntu to the current version?

                Since the upgrade is not LTS some bugs may be there so only not Upgraded

                That makes no sense. LTS is the buggier version, it's just "not updated." LTS is a bad, bad thing. You never use LTS if you want to avoid bugs, you use it when you don't care about updates for some bad reason, like you have buggy software that you can't stop using.

                Also, you are okay with switching to unsupported totally hobby class OSes like PC Linux OS, but not okay with going to the fully supported, least buggy version of Ubuntu?

                This is why we are confused. One moment you refuse to avoid bugs and be stable, the next you are willing to do things totally unstable. Your logic isn't consistent. And when you give a reason, it's backwards.

                Bottom line, you dont' use LTS. Using LTS is just bad. You should never choose it, you only use LTS when you are trapped and have no choice. No one should ever want an LTS release. LTS doesn't bring benefits, and the reasons you get stuck on LTS releases is bad and should be avoided whenever possible.

                  And for all we know, the scanner doesn't work because of a bug in the LTS release that was fixed with the two years of patching and updates that have come since them. Ubuntu is a lot more mature now than it was two years ago.

                    If that device was released last year. You could definitely run into issues with using 16.04.

                      In fact, it would be expected. Part of the purpose of LTS releases is to specifically not support new hardware and devices.

                            Okay. There is about a 30% chance that that will fix it. Not great, but well worth trying.

                            It’ll take a bit I’m sure to download.
