i think it's a kernel/devfs/yves related pb. in your /etc/sane.d/epson:conf you should have: usb $DEVICE where $DEVICE is the device for the scanner. scannerdrake must have put /dev/usb/scanner0 instead of /dev/usb/scanner ls /dev/usb will tell you. but why ? in fact 8.1 kernel comes with a patch made by me to add devfs support in the scanner driver. this patch was officialy included in linus and ac kernel during some times. I created a device named /dev/usb/scanner as the driver was not able to support two or more scanner at the same time. after the 8.1 release the scanner driver has been corrected by david nelson to handle two or more scanner, and thus the name created are now /dev/usb/scanner0 (dev/usb/scanner1 ...). Because it was quite boring to support my poor kernel patch, i directly decided to support recent kernel only... so now, you know all the story ! -- Yves Duret [EMAIL PROTECTED] piouk toujours et meme apres !
