[sane-devel] Epson (Stylus) CX 5400 confusion

[Johannes Meixner]

Hello,

According to the model decription files there are two backends
which support an Epson (Stylus) CX 5400
epson for "Epson CX-5400" with USB-IDs 0x04b8:0x0808 and 0x04b8:0x0801
and
epkowa for "Epson Stylus CX5400" with USB-ID 0x04b8:0x0801

I assume the "Epson CX-5400" and the "Epson Stylus CX5400"
are the same so that there seems to be a USB ID confusion and
a model name confusion for this model?

For details background information see
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=229250

At least for the user who sent us the above bug report,
the epson backend does not work for his scanner 0x04b8:0x0808
(SANE debug outputs are attached to the bug report) but epkowa
works after adding 0x04b8:0x0808 to epkowa.conf.

Perhaps there is some subtle difference so that the epson backend
works only for0x04b8:0x0801 but not for 0x04b8:0x0808?


Kind Regards
Johannes Meixner
