I'm new to git - so, I did: $ git clone http://git.debian.org/git/sane/sane-backends.git $ cd sane-backends $ ./configure $ make $ sudo make install $ scanimage -V scanimage (sane-backends) 1.0.21cvs; backend version 1.0.20 $ scanimage -L device `epson2:192.168.0.10' is a Epson PID flatbed scanner $ scanimage -T scanimage: scanning image of size 632x877 pixels at 1 bits/pixel scanimage: acquiring gray frame, 1 bits/sample scanimage: reading one scanline, 79 bytes... FAIL Error: Error during device I/O $ Thanks - John
