[sane-devel] Epson ET-2711 ("ecotank")

[Paulo Silva]

hi Thierry,

thanks for the instructions, all mentioned steps done, but when i open
xsane from Gimp (File:Create:XSane:"Device dialog..."), after
"scanning for devices", i'm getting this:
Gimp Message
Plug-in crashed: "xsane"
(/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/xsane/xsane)
The dying plug-in may have messed up GIMP's internal state. You may
want to save your images and restart GIMP to be on the safe side.

so what do you think i could do for checking out what is going wrong
here, perhaps like getting logs, running specific tools, some
configuration, etc.?

thanks in advance,
Paulo
