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

[Karl Heinz Kremer]

Isn't it amazing how things just resolve themselves, even when I'm not 
around :-) Thanks to Henning for
taking care of this.

The problem you had (no debug output) is usually caused by having more 
than one Sane installation
on one system (this can also be a partial installation like leftover 
configuration files). Do a
"find / -name epson.conf -print" on your system to see how many 
configuration files for the EPSON
backend you can find.
