[sane-devel] Epson CX5200 not detected with sane-find-scanner

[Jeff Courtade]

Hello,

I am having some issues getting a EpsonCX5200 to be seen and used by 
xscanimage.

Printing works flawlessly. xscanimage doesnt find any scanners neither 
does sane-find-scanner.

I have tried powering it off and on and rebooting this and that multiple 
command line strings to try to force it. Nothing helps.

this what I get when I try xscanimage

No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something
          different, check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and
          detected by sane-find-scanner (if appropriate). Please read
          the documentation which came with this software (README, FAQ,
          manpages).

This is the output of sane-find-scanner

  # No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make 
sure that
  # you have loaded a SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.

found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8, product=0x0801) at libusb:001:004
  # Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be 
supported by
  # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.

  # Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports 
can't be
  # detected by this program.

  # You may want to run this program as root to find all devices. Once you
  # found the scanner devices, be sure to adjust access permissions as
  # necessary.

So it sees it but it doesnt look like it is identifying it.
I checked the kernel src and the entry for that vendor and product are 
in scanner.h linux 2.4.21 src

Could anyone help me out?
I would be quite happy to do extensive troubleshooting to get this 
working if needed.

This is what I have.
