What are you trying to accomplish here? sane-find-scanner just lists the devices it finds. > I still haven't got a clue of what other command could be useful > here.

The device node is created by devfs (on 5.3). You might have to do it manually on 4.x?. I use devfs.rules to make the scanner device available to a group usb, of which I'm a member, and that's it. Sane can use the scanner. For the record, my dll.conf looks like this: --------------------------- dll.conf ------------------------------- # Load the epson backend. epson --------------------------- dll.conf ------------------------------- And epson.conf contains just: -------------------------- epson.conf ------------------------------ usb /dev/uscanner0 -------------------------- epson.conf ------------------------------ > 4.

I keep the USB cable plugged in, and connect or disconnect the power to the transformer, because the 1650 doesn't have an on/off switch. Do you see anything in dmesg output after you plug in the scanner? Roland -- R.F.
