[sane-devel] Epson Perfetion 2480 scanner

[Karl Heinz Kremer]

The 2480 seems to be a new scanner that is in the same category as most 
of the recently added EPSON models: It's not using the ESC/I command 
language that's implemented in the EPSON backend.

I guess somebody has to figure out what design/chipset this scanner is 
based on.
