Public bug reported: With the current (on utopic) sane-backends, the Epson perfection 1260 scanner cannot be used.
Invoking xsane causes sane to recognize that the scanner is attached. However when the scanner is selected, sane hangs forever and cannot even get the scanner configurable parameters to display. The scanner works fine with the newer sane-backends 1.0.25+git150121 (available in a PPA). Please, forward port the fix. ** Affects: sane-backends (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to sane-backends in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1413317 Title: Epson perfection 1260 scanner support broken in current utopic sane- backends Status in sane-backends package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: With the current (on utopic) sane-backends, the Epson perfection 1260 scanner cannot be used.
