It is possible that there is a problem with the sane backend used to talk to the scanner. What is the output of the command sane-find-scanner, run as root?
If it shows a line containing epson2, you could try editing /etc/sane.d/dll.conf, and '#' the epson2 line, and remove any '#' in front of the epson line, and try scanning again. allan On Fri, Jun 4, 2010 at 8:52 PM, Richard C.
