Hi All, I've read the FAQ, man pages, README.linux, and list archives, but I'm still stumped.
I've got an Epson Perfection 1640. It worked beautifully under Linux 2.4. I've now running Linux 2.6.4 on Debian using the "unstable" sane packages. sane-find-scanner finds my scanner, but scanimage does not. It's not a permissions problem because I'm doing this all as root. I have commented out every driver listed in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf except the "epson" driver. # sane-find-scanner found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x010a [Perfection1640]) at libusb:003:003 # Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage. and scanimage: # SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_USB=255 scanimage -L [sanei_debug] Setting debug level of sanei_usb to 255.

If you were expecting something different, check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages). The scanner is listed in /etc/hotplug/usb/libsane.usermap: # grep -A 1 1640SU /etc/hotplug/usb/libsane.usermap # Epson Corp.|Perfection 1640SU / 1640SU Photo libusbscanner 0x0003 0x04b8 0x010a 0x0000 0x0000 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00000000 What should I do next? Thanks, Adam
