[sane-devel] Getting Epson stylus CX5000 scanner working

[m. allan noah]

This scanner is listed as having good support by the epson and epson2
backends from sane-backends 1.0.20. Strangely, it is missing from
epkowa and from the development version of epson2 (probably a .desc
file error).

What version of sane-backends are you running, and is epson2 (or
epson) enabled in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf?
