[sane-devel] Epson, epson2 and epkowa

[Kåre Särs]

Hi,

I have a Epson RX500 scanner/printer and wonder what could be wrong on Ubuntu 
Interpid when the scanner is only found with the epson backend and not epson2 
or epkowa. The debug printout suggests that epson2 has found the driver but 
somehow the backend is not offered anyway.

Debug output from running: scanimage -L:
