[sane-devel] EPSON CX3500

[John William Dalton]

I wrote an email asking for CX3500
support to be added to SANE, only
to realise it has the same USB ID
as the CX3650, which was added to
SANE on 2005-04-26.   I guess that means
SANE now supports the CX3500 'out
of the box'?

In that case could someone please
add the CX3500 to the list of supported
devices?

In case it contains relevant information
I have left my original (and most
likely redundant) email at the end
of this message.

====================================
Could someone please add support
for the EPSON CX3500 multifunction
device to SANE?

The CX3500 appears to be identical to
the CX3200, except the product ID
has been changed to 0x080e.

For the last 6 months my father has
been successfully using the CX3500
with SANE.  The steps we followed
to get it working (under Ubuntu Hoary) were:

1) Edit /etc/hotplug/usb/libsane.usermap
and copy the entry for the CX3200.  Change
the string "CX3200" to "CX3500" and the
number "0x0802" to "0x080e" in the newly
copied entry.

2) edit /etc/sane.d/epson.conf
Comment out the line "scsi EPSON"
and change the line "usb" to
"usb 0x04b8 0x080e".


Presumably a knowledgeable person on this
list with CVS access can use the above
information to add an entry for the CX3500
to SANE?  I suspect most of step 2) is
redundant.

I'm fairly confident with the above
changes, as my father has been using
the CX3500 without any problems for 
six months now.
