Hi Alex,

the Epson Perfection 2480 PHOTO is not supported by sane out of the box. Instead you need the epkowa external backend included in the package "libsane-extras" and an interpreter you have to get directly from Epson at the following adress: http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/?OSC=LX

Greetings,
Dario

Hi everyone,

I have an Epson Perfection 2480 Photo scanner and it was working with sane. After a while I need this scanner again but it is not working anymore.
I got some "Pipe error" messages using sane-find-scanner. Is it broken?


# sane-find-scanner
could not fetch string descriptor: Pipe error
could not fetch string descriptor: Operation timed out
could not fetch string descriptor: Operation timed out
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8, product=0x0121) at libusb:003:007

# Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by
   # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.


# scanimage -L
No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
