I've gone through this a few times, checked the steps on various
howto's but I assume I've missed something...


$ sane-find-scanner -q

# sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the
# result is different from what you expected, first make sure your
# scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.

found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x0121 [EPSON Scanner]) at libusb:004:006
found USB scanner (vendor=0x0ac8 [Vimicro Corp.], product=0x301b [PC Camera]) at libusb:002:002

(I've disconnected the webcam and get the same problem below)

$ scanimage -L
device `snapscan:libusb:004:006' is a EPSON EPSON Scanner flatbed scanner

and then
$ xsane
-- doesn't find the scanner. I have already downloaded epson11373.exe
and unpacked via wine and have

firmware /home/robert/.wine/c/windows/system32/esfw41.bin

in snapscan.conf

I've also put in that file
bus=usb

as per the comments in that file (and also commented it out as
suggested on another webpage)

After running xsane, if I run `scanimage -L` again, it goes into a
long trance before failing ('No scanners were identified')
when unplugging and replugging the usb from the scanner sorts it out.

I'm obviously missing an extra step, can anyone enlighten me?
snapscan.conf has a line for the epson 2480 so I assume it should work


$ rpm -q xsane
xsane-0.97-2mdk
$ rpm -q libusb0.1_4
libusb0.1_4-0.1.8-7mdk
