From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030703 Description of problem: start xsane, and error message pops up claiming that no scanner can be found. /etc/sane.d/epson must be modified from this default: [The last two lines are Identical*. Why?] # epson.conf # # here are some examples for how to configure the EPSON backend # # SCSI scanner: scsi EPSON # # Parallel port scanner: #pio 0x278 #pio 0x378 #pio 0x3BC # # USB scanner - only enable this if you have an EPSON scanner. It could # otherwise block your non-EPSON scanner from being # recognized. # Depending on your distribution, you may need either the # first or the second entry. #usb /dev/usb/scanner0 #usb /dev/usb/scanner0 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start xsane or kscan 2. system complains that no scanner can be found. 3. Actual Results: unable to run scanner. Must be manually configured by changing entries in /etc/sane.d/*.conf file. Expected Results: scan program should load and find scanner, since USBview and hardware device can *both* correctly detect and identify the attached flatbed scanner. Additional info: Have requested this in previous betas of RH distros. Other distros alreay have this enabled in previous versions.
