I have been unable to get my Epson 1650 to work with Fedora Core 2. I have found many related discussions, but nothing seems to work, even as root. The scanner seems to be found with sane-find-scanner, but not with scanimage.
The output of sane-find-scanner (as root): # No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that # you have loaded a SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter. found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x0110 [EPSON Scanner]) at libusb:003:002 # Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage. # Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports can't be # detected by this program. The output of scanimage -L (as root): 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 checked the file permissions, epson.conf, and libsane.usermap as shown below. Any suggestions on what I should try next?
