There are 17 open tickets on alioth that are assigned to Alessandro, 5 of which are for coolscan backends. That leaves 12 for the epson2 backend. A number of these affect devices that are fairly recent and cannot be expected to be supported by the epson backend. The following tickets are for devices that #312793 Perfection 1650 #312913 Perfection 610 #313035 Perfection V700 are supported by the epson backend. The issue with the V700 appears to be in the epson backend as well. There are 14 open tickets assigned to Karl Heinz (the last epson backend maintainer) with the most recent one opened on 2007-06-21. I haven't looked closely but I don't think there are any for devices not supported by the epson2 backend. I hope you don't mind that I didn't go through the 110 tickets that have not been assigned to anyone ;-) That said, all three devices listed above (should) work with the epkowa backend (without any non-free plugins).
