[sane-devel] 1394 and epson 2450 scanner

[Dave W]

I believe that this morning I finally got ieee1394 working on my box. 
Now, finally, sane-find-scanner SEES something other than my cd-roms:

amd1400:/dev# sane-find-scanner
# Note that sane-find-scanner will find any scanner that is connected
# to a SCSI bus and some scanners that are connected to the Universal
# Serial Bus (USB) depending on your OS. It will even find scanners
# that are not supported at all by SANE. It won't find a scanner that
# is connected to a parallel or proprietary port.

sane-find-scanner: found SCSI processor "EPSON GT-9700 1.03" at device
/dev/scanner
sane-find-scanner: found SCSI processor "EPSON GT-9700 1.03" at device
/dev/sg2

/dev/scanner and /dev/sg2 are softlinked.  The problem is that it seems to
see SOMEthing there - a SCSI processor, if not a scanner - but scanimage
sees nothing:

amd1400:/dev# scanimage
scanimage: no SANE devices found

The rescan shell script shows:

amd1400:/dev# /home/aftech/rescan-scsi-bus.sh 
Host adapter 0 (ide-scsi) found.

0 new device(s) found.               
0 device(s) removed.                 

And last but not least, when I try telling sane what I have (I may be
doing this - and anything else - quite incorrectly!):

amd1400:/dev# scanimage -d epson:/dev/sg2    
scanimage: open of device epson:/dev/sg2 failed: Invalid argument

...it fails too.  

So, in short, I'm out of ideas here.  Perhaps the sane experts on the list
can see something obvious that I'm missing?
