[sane-devel] Epson RX600 - can't find

Sat, 2 Jul 2005 18:08:55 -0400

Remove everything but the one line that says "epson" (you may want to  
rename the original file and create a new one with just this one  
line), then run the test with the DEBUG variable again. From what  
you've posted so far it's clear that the EPSON backend never gets  
called. There usually is only one reasons for this: You have more  
than one Sane installation on your system (you may want to search for  
dll.conf over all your hard disks). If removing all other lines from  
dll.conf does not give you any debug output we have to find out where  
things get stuck.
