For a sufficiently new version of sane-backends all that should be needed is adding usb 0x04b8 0x0807 to your epson.conf. Alternatively, you can add an entry for it in epson_usb.c and recompile. That would make the addition to epson.conf superfluous. You should at least be able to scan, other functionality may not be fully supported. > If I start xsane as a user I don't get to see the device, but as root it > gives me the option of using my TV-card or the RX500 device. > After selecting the RX500 xsane starts well.
