Description dominique 2009-02-11 19:56:12 UTC
Description of problem:
With F11 rawhide there is same problem like F9 and F10 with scanner of my Epson DX5050
He don't work until I comment epson2 line in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf.
I post this bug for F9 and F10 ( Bug 440303 and  Bug 460866 ), but nothing change...
I search other way and I found that my scanner also work when I replace epson2 by epson5 in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf

Sorry for being late...

Did this work with older sane-backends versions on older Fedora releases?

Where did you get "epson5" from? I don't know about that driver so you may just be seing sane-backends ignoring this "epson5" driver it doesn't know...

Answering my own question: yes it did (see bug #440303).

Please answer this question though:

As I don't have Epson hardware with which to test this, I'd like to bring this upstream. Do you want to file the bug or shall I?

I don't remember where I see epson5, I think I have seen it on sane site, but I don't find...
For info I don't install epson5 backend, I just change "epson2" line by epson5 in dll.conf and that also work, like when I comment "#epson2"
For me I don't know the difference between "epson" and "epson2" and I think that "epson2" line would be remote in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf

Googling "epson5 sane" doesn't yield anything worthwhile, so I assume there is no driver of that name. In that case, commenting out "epson2" and replacing it by "epson5" have the same effect, i.e. preventing SANE to use the epson2 driver.

Again: Do you want to file the upstream bug or shall I?

My English is very bad (I am 54 years old and I learn english 40 years ago... but I don't remember all...)
If you can, I prefers that you upstream this bug...
Thank

Do you have an account at the SANE bug tracker? You can find it at:

https://alioth.debian.org/tracker/?atid=410366&group_id=30186&func=browse

I sure can file the bug upstream, but I don't have the hardware. So at least I'd want to put you on Cc so you can answer questions be the upstream maintainers.

Hi
I post a bug report here:
https://alioth.debian.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=311545&group_id=30186&atid=410366
wait and see...

Comment 9 Nils Philippsen 2009-03-16 16:40:39 UTC
Thanks very much!

I'll change the bug status to CLOSED/UPSTREAM in the meantime and when there is a fix, the bug can be reopened and I'll integrate the patch into the Fedora packages.
