Hello I have just bought me a new motherboard - I needed support for PCI-E graphic-cards. And what has it to do with sane? Unfortunately a lot, because my scanner - Epson Perfection 2450 photo, or GT9700F - refuses to work on my old motherboard (ASUS A8V Deluxe) in USB. System is SuSE10.1 with an AMD64 So I have been using a firewire connection instead - and yes - the new board does not have a firewire connection. sane-find-scanner gives: found SCSI processor "EPSON GT-9700 1.05" at /dev/sg6 and scanimage -L gives: device `epkowa:/dev/sg6' is a Epson Perfection 2450 flatbed scanner But in USB 2.0 mode I get found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x0112 [EPSON Scanner]) at libusb:005:005 and scanimage -L gives: No scanners were identified. Now my question is Is it an error in my old board, or in the scanner? What is most likely? Or is the best advice to get another board with firewire on?
Sincerely Mogens Jaeger
