[sane-devel] epson2 backend v1.0.25 with Epson ET-4500 logs attached

Hi Roger,

Said I'd take a look.  I did.

Looks like a time out issue when the backend has told the scanner to
start scanning.  The backend expects the first image data back in 10
seconds but apparently the scanner it taking its time.

The time out is hardwired in the sanei_epson_net_read_raw() function in
backend/epson2_net.c.  If you can compile from source, try increasing
the value of tv.tv_sec to 60.  I think that should at least get things
going for you.  If not, try 5 minutes (300 seconds), that's what that
imagescan backend seems to be using as a worst case value.

Hope this helps,
