Public bug reported: Binary package hint: libsane
The scanner section of the Epson sx200 and SX205 all-in-one printer/copier/scanner is not automatically recognised in either 9.04 or the latest update to 9,10. The scanner can be made to work by following instructions by Kaho, written on 31/12/08 on page: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=932547&highlight=sx200&page=2 Actions to repeat bug: Fresh install of 9.04 or 9.10. Plug multifiunction device into Ubuntu. Ubuntu recognises printer section automatically. Go into Applications->Graphics->Xsane Image scanning program Note dialog "No devices available". Expected results: Plug device into Ubuntu. Use Xsane straight away without modifying config.
