[sane-devel] EPSON 2480 initialization

[pub@phkoenig.fr]

Hi Reinald,

Thanks a lot, it's the good way. I had to remove all the installed 
software, in a best way than rpm -e did... My fault was to configure and 
compile to install in the same directories than original from Fedora. 
Fortunately, make uninstall removed all!
