There have been very few changes to epson backend since 1.0.19, so I am surprised it did not work in later versions. Epson2 has a known issue in 1.0.21, which is still waiting on a fix, IIRC.
Any chance you could get a log of the epson2 backend from a current git snapshot? allan On Sat, Jul 24, 2010 at 7:04 AM, Mogens J?ger <mogensjaeger at gmail.com> wrote: > Hello list > > I have for some years now used my Epson Perfection 2450 Photo (or - > GT9700F) scanner without any problems, on my Linux 64 bit machine. > > But since I upgraded to the new Suse 11.3 (sane-backends 1.0.21), the > scanner does not work.
