[sane-devel] The Epson 1660 setup on SuSE 8.1 ... hope it might be helpful for others:-)

Dear fellows,

These were the steps which finally made my Epson work with SuSE 8.1 and,
even more important, continue working after a reboot:-)

- Include 'options scanner product=0x11e vendor=0x4b8'
  in /etc/modules.conf
- Uncomment 'epson' (only epson) in
  /etc/sane.d/dll.conf
- Include 'usb /dev/usb/scanner0' in
  /etc/sane.d/epson.conf;
  NOTE: usb /dev/usbscanner did NOT work;
- Include 'usb-ohci' in INITRD_MODULES
  in /etc/sysconfig/kernel; and run mk_initrd
  NOTE: including also 'scanner' did NOT help
- Add an entry to the hotplug configuration
  file /etc/hotplug/usb.distmap;
  (i.e. copy a line -which indeed stretches over
  three lines- and change the values to 0x11e
  and 0x4b8 - according to first point)
- Add 'modprobe scanner' in /etc/init.d/boot.local

Cheers .... Wolfi
