Title:
Plug n play support for Epson Scanners (supported by epson2 backend)
Status in sane-backends package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Most of the Epson scanners nowadays are supported by the epson2 backend :
http://www.sane-project.org/lists/sane-backends-cvs.html#S-EPSON2
But the needed udev rules and peson2 config file are not present to
enable OOTB experience like for HP products.
How to reproduce :
- install ubuntu 14.04
- Plug an epson scanner like the XP-405 ( 0x04b8 0x0898)
- Launch Simple scan : the scanner is not recognized.
WORKAROUND: Add in the /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules file:
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04b8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0898", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"
Add in the /etc/sane.d/epson2.conf file:
usb 04b8 0898
usb /dev/usbscanner0
usb /dev/usb/scanner0
We should enable all those epson models to be plug n play by shipping
the needed config files like we do for HP.
