[sane-devel] Problem with Epslon 1650 + Kernel 2.4.3: no lamp off

[Karl Heinz Kremer]

Does the lamp actually come on without you first scanning? Just probing  
the scanner
should not keep the lamp on. The scanner should be "smart" enough to  
not keep
the lamp on when it's not actually receiving the "start scan" command  
during it's
lamp timeout period.
