[sane-devel] problem with Epson perfection 2480 photo scanner in FreeBSD

[breach0r]

Hi,

I tried, now sane-backends-1.0.16_2 is installed, i still get I/O error when 
trying to init the scanner. I/O error the first try and device unavailable the 
next tries. set SANE_DEBUG_SNAPSCAN=255 no longer produces any output (but i 
tried in csh should i try with export in bash?).

i see other problem with 1.0.16 on the mailing list should i try and revert to 
an even older version?

in the meantime let me try upgrade back to the latest version in the ports 
tree ... doesn't help.

I really have no idea what's wrong with the backends.
