Hi, > I've got Epson Perfection 2580 Photo which is recognized by > snapscan as 2480, because they both got the same id: 0x04b8/0x0121. > > I'm wondering if there is a way to know real model in such a > situation. It can be helpful, because 2580 differs from 2480 (has a > motor which transports 36mm film).
Which version of sane backends are you using? The latest version, sane-backends-1.0.17, should automatically distinguish between 2480 and 2580 and adjust the preview range accordingly. The code, however, is not very well tested and relies on a few data logs from 2480 / 2580 users that I've received. If it doesn't work for your scanner please send me the output of SANE_DEBUG_SNAPSCAN=255 xsane 2>debug.log (No need to do any scans, just close xsane after it has started). /Oliver
