Wups, sorry.

Hmm,  maybe so. It was a while ago, perhaps they got muddled up.

AHA!
In the Redhat rpms plustek.conf has this line. In the 
sane-backends-1.0.9.tar.gz
that I have the line reads "device /dev/usbscanner" - which I'm guessing 
would be
a link to the real device node. No such link here.
But changing plustek.conf to your specification does now let me see the device
with scanimage and not just sane-find-scanner.

Also I discovered when installing the backend that it tries to link
/usr/local/lib/libsane.a -> /usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-dll.a
Should be lidsane-dll.la, methinks.

So now I have an Epson powered by plustek backend which gives me control 
over the
lamp. Which is nice.


Many thanks, Henning.
