After installing 2006 RC1 and doing tons of upgrades from

detected as Epson in harddrake and usbview (libusb:004:002).
Nonetheless xsane can't find it. Services haldaemon and
messagebus are running, but udev doesn't appear in the services
list. (I think hotplug is obsolete in 2006).
Have you checked or filed a bug report, Kaj?
(http://qa.mandriva.com) It certainly needs bringing to the
developers' attention if they don't already know about it. A lot
of us use Epson scanners.
Not yet, Anne. Not sure if it's a bug in software or my even softer
brain. But I remember a lot of troubles with my USB devices, like
external hard drives, mp3 players, cameras and this scanner. After
hours - or days - of messing around I got everything working, but
not this time. I intend to use a bit of my sparse time to fool
around some more before i submit a bug report. But,
eventually.......

Hi
I too was having heaps of probs with USB devices, I have heaps of the
little toys to play with.
In the end I found a simple way to let Mandriva do it for me.
I simply have the device either switched off or disconnected while I
boot into Mandriva, then once in ~ plug it in.
This might not work for you but since my first 2.6 kernel I've yet to
have it fail.
Actual blew my boss away when after a half hour of getting WinXP sorted
to recognise his new camera, I simply turned it on after booting back to
Mandriva 2005 LE and had a popup ask if I wanted to import within 2
seconds. Nice one.
Sometimes to simple ways take the hassle out of life.
Hope it works for you.
