Hello, I just upgraded to SANE-Backends-1.0.18 and my Epson 2480 works better than ever. Thanks!
I have a question/comment about the scanner lamp. This scanner doesn't have an on/off button, so it remains on whenever it's plugged in (I remember a Dilbert strip about this very theory of design, but anyway...) I have noticed that, if I run xsane, then after a few minutes of inactivity the scanner lamp is turned off (by the firmware, I assume). However, if I don't run xsane first, the lamp stays on indefinitely. I'm concerned about the life span of the lamp. Is there a way to make it turn off, even if I don't run xsane? Right now my alternatives are either run xsane everytime I turn the computer on, or just keep the scanner unplugged most of the time. -- Miguel Bazdresch
