[sane-devel] epson perfection 2480 does not work anymore

[Fabio Varesano]

Hello everybody,

I was able to use my Epson Perfection 2480 scanner perfectly in my
distro Archlinux.

I did not use the scanner for at least one month and now it does not
work anymore. In the meantime I keep my distro packages updates so I
guess some new package broken something.


While using xsane or scanimage I get:
[root at beta fabio]# scanimage
scanimage: open of device snapscan:libusb:004:007 failed: Error during
device I/O

and the status light on my scanner became red!

I did not changed any config file and I'm stuck because scanimage -L
return the correct output:
device `snapscan:libusb:004:007' is a EPSON EPSON Scanner1 flatbed scanner

Does someone has any hints?

Thanks a lot!
