For SANE backend purposes these are the same. > Here is exactly what I did with scanimage: > > [jeremy at home2006 ~]$ scanimage >image.pnm > scanimage: sane_start: Invalid argument > > [jeremy at home2006 ~]$ scanimage -d epson2:libusb:003:002 >image.pnm > scanimage: sane_start: Invalid argument Not sure whether this is still an issue, but have you tried specifying a resolution? The CX5300 should be able to do 100 but check the output of scanimage -h for the `--resolution` option for details. There was a time where the default resolution of 300 wasn't checked against what the device could actually do. > I can't think of any further relevant details but happy to provide > them if I know exactly what further details are required The out.log file that results from SANE_DEBUG_EPSON2=255 scanimage > out.pnm 2> out.log FWIW, Image Scan! for Linux[1] supports this model just fine. Click the All-in-Ones icon and use your browser's find functionality (Ctrl+F ?) to locate the CX5300.
