Ed Hamrick, the Vuescan author, wrote to me and told me the problem is the Japanese ID of my Epson Perfection 2450 Photo as follows: "The problem you're having with SANE not recognizing the 2450 is that it's using the Japanese product naming (i.e. GT-XXXX) in the scsi inquiry string. SANE doesn't recognize this type of inquiry string, although it would be trivial to add this. I added support for this some time ago in VueScan. You can verify that the 2450 is working by downloading VueScan from: http://www.hamrick.com/vsm.html"; I already had downloaded it but didn't think to try it. It DOES work, so if the problem is that the GT-XXXX product naming string is wrong, where do we correct that?
