Hello from southern germany,

after lots of googling and searching i finally found this mailing list,=20
thank goodness. snapscan.sourceforge.net doesn't mention this.=20
I hope someone can help me here:

I bought an Epson Perfection 2480 Photo and tried to install it using=20
the instructions on the mentioned sf-site. Software as follows:=20

Debian system, kernel 2.6.8.1, sane 1.0.12 from unstable, libsane=20
1.0.14-7 from unstable - building the cvs version failed, see below.=20
libusb 0.1.5 from unstable, hotplug 20040329 ditto.
My /etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf is attached below. The firmware file to be=20
uploaded is in /etc/sane.d.=20

The scanner is detected correctly by sane-find-scanner:

>found USB scanner (vendor=3D0x04b8 [EPSON], product=3D0x0121 [EPSON       =
   =20
>Scanner]) at libusb:003:004

Any access to the scanner (xsane and the like) end up in an error=20
message:

>Couldn't start scanner - error during device i/o=20

(translated from german)

=2E..so i tried sane-troubleshoot without any result i didn't already=20
know. The test-scan ended with the following in /var/log/syslog:

>ehci_hcd 0000:00:02.2: qh c1577780 (#17) state 1
>usb 3-3: usbfs: USBDEVFS_BULK failed ep 0x81 len 3856 >ret -75
>usb 3-3: bulk timeout on ep2out
>usb 3-3: usbfs: USBDEVFS_BULK failed ep 0x2 len 6 ret -110

To me this looks like a usb problem, right? After a failed access to the =20
scanner the led of it keeps flashing for minutes. During this time a=20
"cat /proc/bus/usb/devices" hangs for 30 seconds before giving out what=20
i've attached below.

I tried to build the  snapscan-backend from cvs, but couldn't:=20
"make" ended up with

That's what i've achieved so far. Any hints are greatly appreciated.
TIA,

To complete the overkill, here's some output of /proc/bus/usb/devices=20
after booting:

T:  Bus=3D03 Lev=3D01 Prnt=3D01 Port=3D02 Cnt=3D01 Dev#=3D  7 Spd=3D480 MxC=

E:  Ad=3D83(I) Atr=3D03(Int.) MxPS=3D   8 Ivl=3D4096ms

The output lacks the two "S" lines (Manuf. & Product) when i "cat" it=20
while the scanner led is flashing.

Here's my snapscan.conf:

firmware /etc/sane.d/esfw41.bin
usb 0x04b8 0x0121

Adding a line "/dev/usb/scanner0 bus=3Dusb" doesn't change anything. Same=20
for an empty firmware file.
