Sane as in scanners on Linux that is, you don't have to be actually sane! :-)
I have an Epson V700 scanner which is listed as supported by the sane-epson backend. However I'm having a hard time getting the thing recognised by anything at all.
It is connected and functioning because "sane-find-scanner" successfully finds it and lists the right parameters:-
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x012c [EPSON Scanner]) at libusb:7:2
So it's there and connected to the USB OK. But that's as far as I can get and the Sane documentation isn't very forthcoming on what I have to do next. Should it "just work" now or is there a configuration file that needs editing? Nothing in the Sane documentation seems to tell me what's needed.
The above "sane-find-scanner" also says "Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.". I've done that, "scanimage -L" doesn't detect any scanners and the sane.epson man page leaves me none the wiser really.
I have tried adding the following line to /etc/sane.d/epson.conf:-
usb 0x4b8 0x12c
but it hasn't helped.
I'm stuck, what do I need to do to actually get some sane front end to see the scanner via the back-end?
