[sane-devel] Epson RX600 - can't find

[Karl Heinz Kremer]

I have one sitting next to my computer, and it works...

Try to set the debug environment variable before you run scanimage:

export SANE_DEBUG_EPSON=255
scanimage > /tmp/scan.log 2>&1

The file /tmp/scan.log will contain information about what the  
backend is
doing. What surprises me is that the scanner is not even recognized.

Do you have more than one version of Sane on your system?
