      Its' awful, but Ubuntu actually makes a solid product. But their community and social system is so bad.

          Have you actually tried Ubuntu 17.10 or 18.04 to see if it works?

            Why are you leaping from OS to OS without even trying to properly use the one that you are on? No OS is going to work well if not maintained properly. Start with what we've said from the beginning for getting random and weird. Yes, at some point, switching OSes is an option, but don't do it before you try the one you are on.

              As checked where scanner was working fine in Windows but in Ubuntu have issue.So only asking for different Linux OS!

                  Why not? That's what you need to do right now. Don't ask any more questions until you've tried the basics and seen if they work.

                    You don't know this yet. You've not used a current version of Ubuntu yet or used Ubuntu properly. This makes no sense to ask about other OSes when you've not tested the one you are on yet. If you treat Windows, openSuse, Fedora, etc. the same way, we wouldn't know if they worked either.

                    It's like getting in a car and not figuring out how to turn the key to start the car. Then when we tell you to turn the key, you ask if trying a different car might help. Maybe, because we don't know if the car works or not. All we know is that you've not turned the key and in another car, you likely won't turn the key either.

                        You have not UPDATED to the current version. Use whatever term you want, but you are TWO YEARS out of date. Update, upgrade, whatever to CURRENT.

                          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?

                                  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.

                                    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.

                                          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.
