[sane-devel] Sane Epson Backend

[Pierre SOUCHAY]

Hi,

I've got the same problem, try to specify the device on the command line.
i.e:
 xsane epson:/dev/usb/scanner0 or
 scanimage -d epson:/dev/usb/scanner0

I notice the problem also occurs when using saned daemon, I have to specify on 
the command line :
 xsane net:host:epson:/dev/usb/scanner0

I suppose it is due to the USB (it works fine for me with SCSI scanners)

Regards.
