[sane-devel] What happens with Epson support?

[m. allan noah]

There have been very few changes to epson backend since 1.0.19, so I
am surprised it did not work in later versions. Epson2 has a known
issue in 1.0.21, which is still waiting on a fix, IIRC.

Any chance you could get a log of the epson2 backend from a current
git snapshot?
