Is this correct? I have an Epson 2450 Photo and have been having problems with it ever since I started using a 2.6 kernel. I particularly miss having a batch scan capability if a firewire card sorts the problem I'll go for it.

Here is a posting I made to the mailing list some time ago http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/sane-devel/2004-September/011962.html The scanner still exhibits similar symptoms. > > >Has any progress been made on getting this scanner to work with libusb?

The 2450 Photo is attached to a rather old desktop that only has a USB 1.1 interface. I also noticed on the Sane Supported Scanners page http://www.sane-project.org/cgi-bin/driver.pl?manu=epson&model=2450&bus=usb&v=&p= that the Epson backend supports the 2450 and the Epkowa backend the 2450 Photo. Is this just a typo? Should I instead use the Epkowa backend without the firewire interface mentioned above. -- Regards, Iain.
