Michel-Ekimia / Rolf Leggewie, unfortunately, I wasn't aware that apport doesn't presently work for sane-backends, and I've filed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/1656599 about it. My bad.

How to reproduce : - install ubuntu 14.04 - Plug an epson scanner like the XP-405 ( 0x04b8 0x0898) - Launch Simple scan : the scanner is not recognized. WORKAROUND: Add in the /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules file: ATTRS{idVendor}=="04b8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0898", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes" Add in the /etc/sane.d/epson2.conf file: usb 04b8 0898 usb /dev/usbscanner0 usb /dev/usb/scanner0 We should enable all those epson models to be plug n play by shipping the needed config files like we do for HP.
