 Hi

 Well don't know what could be the problem, just returned to the
 previous version and it was working again... I guess something
 changed in the library with this particular model...

 Now have a new problem, can't access except as root, in any way can
 let a normal user to access the device, tried udev rules, to setuid
 the programs, cry and pray, but nothing works :S

 Thanks for your comments

 Sounds identical to a problem I had. I don't really
 understand it, but you can find more about it here:
 
 http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=225599

Have you tried disabling the epson2 backend?  Towards the end of the
bug report there is mention that the epson and epson2 backends might
be getting into one another's way.

You can disable backends in the /etc/sane.d/dll.conf file (or, IIRC,
on your system /usr/local/etc/sane.d/dll.conf).  You could also try
with the epson backend disabled.

Hope this helps,

 I only found *part* of the information I asked for.  Please do both of
 us a favour and make sure the device is connected, powered on and has
 finished warming up.  Next, log in as a normal user, open a terminal
 window and _cut_and_paste_ the following shell commands into that
 terminal window:
 
   script cx3900-debug.log
   groups
   /sbin/lsusb
   ls -lR /dev/usb
   SANE_DEBUG_DLL=127 SANE_DEBUG_EPSON=127 scanimage -L
   exit
   gzip cx3900-debug.log

 Hi

 Here is the log, scanner is powered an connected and scanimage shows
 it only as root

I had a look at the log but didn't find any clues.  If disabling one
of the epson and epson2 backends, see other post, doesn't fix your
problem, try the above again but then also specify

  SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_USB=127

before the scanimage command.

Hope this helps,

[sane-devel] Epson 4990 / v700 Lamp Shut-off

2008-08-25 Thread myopicwatchmaker
Hello everyone!
I have been working with the epson2 backend for some time now, as I use both
the 4990 and v700 as part of my work.

The items I scan are heat-sensitive, which is problematic given that lamps
of both the scanner and its transparency unit generate quite a lot of heat.
After each scan the lamps remain powered for fifteen minutes before
automatically turning off.  Does anybody know of any command(s) that will
allow me to turn off the scanner's lamps earlier than this?  There isn't
anything in the 4990 documentation to suggest it is possible, but perhaps
someone here has stumbled upon a something.

Thanks,
Nick

# For cooperating backends:
scanimage -n 1

best bet might be to look around the windows gui and/or manual and see
if it can do it. if so, get a trace of it in action...
