Hi, Epson Perfection 1650 (USB) on Linux RedHat 8.0. The scanner worked fine some time ago, now it doesn't. The kernel and sane-backends may have been updated since it last worked, but I cannot get things to work with older versions either. Currently trying: RedHat's kernel 2.4.20-20.8, and RedHat's sane-backends-1.0.8-5.2.
The scanner appears in `lsusb', the kernel `scanner.o' module is loaded automatically, # sane-find-scanner # Note that sane-find-scanner will find any scanner that is connected # to a SCSI bus and some scanners that are connected to the Universal # Serial Bus (USB) depending on your OS. It will even find scanners # that are not supported at all by SANE. It won't find a scanner that # is connected to a parallel or proprietary port. sane-find-scanner: found USB scanner (vendor = 0x04b8, product = 0x0110) at device /dev/usb/scanner0 # scanimage -L No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different, check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages). I have commented every line in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf except `net' and `epson'; my epson.conf says: usb /dev/usb/scanner0 USB /dev/usb/scanner0 usb 0x04b8 0x0110 and my /etc/modules.conf says # alias char-major-81 scanner # options scanner vendor=0x04b8 product=0x0110 I have tried with one or both of these lines decommented, no change. Any ideas where to look now? The scanner works on a Mac OS-X machine, so seems OK hardware-wise. Thanks for any help you might give.
