Third attempt, trying to work my way around alioth's ridiculous anti-spam measures...
My trusty Epson GT-7000 died today. Annoying, but not the end of the world, given that I also have an Epson Stylus Office BX300F all-in-one. However, I can't get it working with sane: riva:~# scanimage -L device `epson:libusb:001:003' is a Epson NX300 flatbed scanner device `net:localhost:epson:libusb:001:003' is a Epson NX300 flatbed scanner riva:~# scanimage scanimage: sane_start: Operation not supported Running with extra debugging gave a clue: USB error: could not set config 1: Device or resource busy Removing the usblp module fixed that, but it still gave me the "Operation not supported" error.

Is that the problem here? If so, I wouldn't have expected it to go on to claim and release the interface. What can I do about it? I'm not sure what to try next. Any ideas? Thanks, Tet
