[sane-devel] Epson Stylus CX5500 Scanner

[Garry B]

I am running OpenSuse 10.3 & can't get an Epson scanner to work.
The scanner is an Epson CX5500 multi-function. I had lots of fun
getting the printer to work but eventually found an Epson scx4450
driver & it works nicely.

Sane doesn't seem to recognise the product ID. Is there something I
can do? Thanks in advance.

  # sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the
  # result is different from what you expected, first make sure your
  # scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.

  # No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that
  # you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.
