[sane-devel] The Epson 1660 setup on SuSE 8.1 ... hope it might be helpful for others:-)

The last steps (modprobe scanner) is no longer necessary once you have
the entry for the scanner in usb.distmap. From there on, the module
will be automatically loaded when the scanner is switched on.

> - Uncomment 'epson' (only epson) in
>   /etc/sane.d/dll.conf
> - Include 'usb /dev/usb/scanner0' in
>   /etc/sane.d/epson.conf;
>   NOTE: usb /dev/usbscanner did NOT work;
> - Include 'usb-ohci' in INITRD_MODULES
>   in /etc/sysconfig/kernel; and run mk_initrd
>   NOTE: including also 'scanner' did NOT help
> - Add an entry to the hotplug configuration
>   file /etc/hotplug/usb.distmap;
>   (i.e. copy a line -which indeed stretches over
>   three lines- and change the values to 0x11e
>   and 0x4b8 - according to first point)
> - Add 'modprobe scanner' in /etc/init.d/boot.local
