I presume in works in the sense of snanning a straight document to a .pnm or jpg file.
If this is correct, then it's the photoscan side of the driver that needs waking up.
Not sure how this is done, but here are a few places to look.
/etc/sane.d/epson.conf is where the driver configurtation is stashed
here is mine # 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: # # Auto-detection of models known to the "epson" backend usb # # Auto-detection of model specified by vendor/product (example is Epson # Perfection 2450, use "lsusb" or "sane-find-scanner" to get the IDs of # your scanner model) #usb 0x04b8 0x0112 # # Selection of scanner by device special file # 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/usbscanner0 usb /dev/usb/scanner0
I don't think this actually says much except that it is an epson scanner on usb port.
My M91 installer got this wrong and gave it a parralel port , and I had to change it to
usb /dev/usb/scanner0. It is the only thing I had to do to make my scanner work, but in M9.0 I didn't even have to do that.
/etc/sane.d/dll.conf is where some parameters are set, here is mine # enable the next line if you want to allow access through the network: net abaton agfafocus apple avision artec artec_eplus48u as6e bh canon canon630u #canon_pp coolscan coolscan2 #dc25 #dc210 #dc240 dmc epson fujitsu gt68xx hp hp4200 hpsj5s leo matsushita microtek microtek2 mustek #mustek_pp mustek_usb nec pie pint plustek #pnm qcam ricoh s9036 sceptre sharp sm3600 snapscan sp15c #st400 tamarack teco1 teco2 teco3 #test umax #umax_pp umax1220u v4l viceo # # The following backends are not included in the sane-backends distribution # If you want to use them, download them from their webpages and read their # documentation # # HP OfficeJet backend homepage: http://hpoj.sf.net/ # Uncomment the following line if hpoj is installed: #hpoj niash
I think you are supposed to # out everything not applicable, so if for instance you want to be able to connect to the net from sane make sure than "net" is unhashed
/etc/sane.d/qcam # # In order to use the qcam backend, you'll need to enable to line with # the port address for your scanner.

speaks for itself.
If these do not do the trick then I guess a better backend driver is needed. For that it's best to visit the sane website and start looking for answers.

Is what you've been doing only possible with the 2450? I can't get the slide scanner to activate with the 1260--all I get is one flash and that's it. The function doesn't recognize that I have a transparency loaded instead of a 2 dimensional print, so no joy. The Windows software recognizes the slide immediately, and activates the slide scanning function.--
