[sane-devel] Epson Perfection V700 Photo

[Karl Heinz Kremer]

I can confirm your hunch, the V700/V750 scanners do use the ESC/I  
protocol, and from what I know (I have not seen one yet) about these  
scanners, chances are pretty good that they will work the current  
version of the EPSON backend. You do need to add the USB information  
to the epson.desc file as Olaf indicates.
