As I said, it had some very basic support a long time ago. The filmscanner= =20 is too different from flatbed scanners so that it does not make a lot of se= nse to support it in the standard EPSON backend. The scanner is also no longer manufactured, my time is better spent on supporting current models. >=20 > Is it enough to add this additional strncmp() ?
