Thank you for your advice, unfortunately I cant get epkowa to detect my scanner, even when specifying <BR>
"usb 0x04b8 0x0129 #Epson 10000XL" in epkowa.conf (values coming from lsusb)<BR>
<BR>
I get the following run:<BR>
> SANE_DEBUG_DLL=127 SANE_DEBUG_EPKOWA=127 scanimage -L<BR> [sanei_debug] Setting debug level of dll to 127.<BR> [dll] sane_init: SANE dll backend version 1.0.12 from sane-backends 1.0.21<BR> [dll] sane_init/read_dlld: processing /usr/local/etc/sane.d/dll.d ...<BR> [dll] sane_init/read_dlld: done.<BR> [dll] sane_init/read_config: reading dll.conf<BR> [dll] add_backend: adding backend `epkowa'<BR> [dll] sane_get_devices<BR> [dll] load: searching backend `epkowa' in `/usr/local/lib/sane'<BR> [dll] load: trying to load `/usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-epkowa.so.1'<BR> [dll] load: dlopen()ing `/usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-epkowa.so.1'<BR> [dll] init: initializing backend `epkowa'<BR> [dll] init: backend `epkowa' is version 1.0.212<BR> [dll] sane_get_devices: found 0 devices<BR>
No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,<BR> check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the<BR> sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation<BR> which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).<BR> [dll] sane_exit: exiting<BR> [dll] sane_exit: calling backend `epkowa's exit function<BR> [dll] sane_exit: finished<BR>
<BR>
So my scanner isn't detected (and it is when i comment epkowa in dll.conf and uncomment epson2).<BR>
By the way, SANE_DEBUG_EPKOWA doesnt seem to be effective, even if epkowa is loaded (although SANE_DEBUG_EPSON2 works, so maybe libepkowa was build without debug support).<BR>
I couldnt find where to download the latest epkowa release you were speaking about, is it in the git repo? Currently I have sane-backends 1.0.21 which seems to me to be the latest available binary) and I'm using the epkowa library "libsane-epkowa.so.1.0.15".<BR>
<BR>
I also tried directly :<BR>
sudo scanimage -d epkowa<BR>scanimage: open of device epkowa failed: Access to resource has been denied<BR><BR>
So not working either, is there another way to check if epkowa supports this particular device ?<BR>
<BR>

<BR>
thank you, this might improve its life expectation ^^<BR>
<BR>> > Besides, "eject" options and "auto-eject=on" don't work with this <BR>> > scanner, maybe it is linked I don't know...<BR>> <BR>> It this also the case with the epkowa backend?<BR>
Well, don't know yet :)<BR>> <BR>> Hope this helps,<BR>
Hope too, and thank you again for your time<BR>> - -- <BR>> Olaf Meeuwissen, LPIC-2 FLOSS Engineer -- AVASYS CORPORATION<BR>> FSF Associate Member #1962 Help support software freedom<BR>> http://www.fsf.org/jf?referrer=1962<BR>> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----<BR>> Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux)<BR>> Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/<BR>> <BR>> iEYEARECAAYFAkzlv7wACgkQt5qrxaZLMnJIqwCgpf5RsyKF3fWxh71Hcr3B9cuB<BR>> 6+sAoIuJa6IcAjUJ9Ujr4z+OeCWf3rfu<BR>> =TGFv<BR>> -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----<BR><BR> </body>
