This is an engineering problem on the manufacturer's side, and unfortunately they're all doing the same shit. Epson unfortunately doesn't provide anything comparable to what HP does for its multifunction devices, that is, a userspace daemon/driver managing the access to the device. This isn't a clean solution either, but it's cheaper (than having the hardware properly expose 2 devices or functions) and it works. So to make it clear: there is no solution to your problem. usblp will bind the device at the kernel level, prohibiting user processes from accessing the device through libusb. > I think that maybe a fix can be integrated in the debian version of sane > until a new version with the fix is released, since it is a bug that > seems to touch all the people with multifunction devices. I'm not willing to apply this patch in its current form. It might be harmful for other devices.
