Are you sure (well, it's your backend :-)?

[epson] out of memory (line 4860)

This is the code which results in the error (in sane_start):

  if (lcount == 0)
    {
      DBG (1, "out of memory (line %d)\n", __LINE__);
      return SANE_STATUS_NO_MEM;
    }      

As far as I can see, lcount is set here:

lcount = sanei_scsi_max_request_size / s->params.bytes_per_line;

So lcount would be 0 if sanei_scsi_max_request_size were smaller than
(in this case) 41712. Maybe there is a problem with this kernel buffer
size?


Bye,
