I just purchased an Epson Perfection 1660 Photo scanner to work with Linux (RedHat 7.3 and Slackware 8.1). I built, installed, and configured SANE according to directions. It works great. Thanks!
But I do have a couple of questions. 1) I understand that Linux supports 16 usb scanners. Am I correct in assuming that I can put multiple entries in my /usr/local/etc/sane.d/epson.conf to operate more than one epson scanner at a time? For example, if I had three epson 1660s, could I do the following in my epson.conf: usb /dev/usb/scanner0 usb /dev/usb/scanner1 usb /dev/usb/scanner2 2) As the scanner module requires vendor and product parameters, it doesn't appear that SANE supports more than one scanner vendor/product at the same time. Does SANE support multiple scanner types at the same time? If so, how does one configure this? Thanks for your help, Peter
