[sane-devel] USB "Unable to access minor data".

[Michael Chapman]

Have a Epson Perfection 1650 (USB).

<xsane pnm:0> works nicely

<SANE_DEBUG_EPSON=128 scanimage --device epson:/dev/usbscanner>
returns 
	[epson] sane_start: /dev/usbscanner open (USB) failed: No such device

after modprobe etc. etc.

then /var/log/messages has "Unable to access minor data" for scanner.c

---------

Apologies this would seem to be more a USB problem, but it does seem to be a 
USB/scanner problem!

Can anyone help (I am no Linux wizard!).

Thanks,

	Michael Chapman


PS usbview shows the scanner there but in RED, and in the information field 
has the line "Name: (none)", which I presume is also indicative of the no 
driver problem ???
