[sane-devel] crash recovery mode, 10k monkeys based :-)

[Karl F. Larsen]

Hi Gene, on my system I used the right vendor and product numbers so 
that's not my problem.

I went to http://www.buzzard.org.uk/jonathan/scanners-usb.html and under 
the 1250 epson he has a place to click that gets you to a page where you 
can download a rpm of iscan for the 1250u which I installed. In my 
system it doesn't work too.
