[sane-devel] Sane Epson Backend

[Jesus A. Orosco]

I would like to thank you for your time and just for taking the time to
respond to my inquiry.  Your response pointed me in the proper direction
and I have finally been able to get my USB Epson Perfection 1660 Photo
scanner up and running under FreeBSD 4.7.  Many thanks.

Chuy

p.s. I was able to get my scanner to work without having to use the
"scanimage -d Epson:/dev/uscanner0" like you had suggested.  I am able
to use just "scanimage" or "xsane" and it seems to work well.

Looks fine. The Epson backend has full support for libusb since SANE
version 1.0.10 so you may want to update if you don't use this or a
newer version.

You can also try to add a line like this to epson.conf:
usb libusb:/dev/usb0:/dev/ugen0

To find out what's going on you can enable debugging by setting
the SANE_DEBUG_EPSON environment variable. See man sane-epson for
details.

Bye,
