This worked. Thanks again.
In return I have another patch for you all. As it is, the V800s cannot scan
with the "TPU8x10" source setting. I eventually figured out that this is
because the other scanners that have this option are listed explicitly in
e2_discover_capabilities(). This needs to be changed to include the V800.
epson2-ops.c Line 718:
if (e2_model(s, "GT-X800") || e2_model(s, "GT-X900")) {
change to:
if (e2_model(s, "GT-X800") || e2_model(s, "GT-X900") || e2_model(s,
"GT-X980")) {
I'll leave writing the patch and committing it to those who know what
they're doing in case anything else needs to be changed too, but this
worked for me.
