This scanner is listed as having good support by the epson and epson2 backends from sane-backends 1.0.20. Strangely, it is missing from epkowa and from the development version of epson2 (probably a .desc file error).
What version of sane-backends are you running, and is epson2 (or epson) enabled in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf? allan On Thu, Apr 1, 2010 at 10:39 AM, tj <999alfred at comcast.net> wrote: > I was given an Epson CX5000 3-in-1 unit and I am only interested in getting > scanner section working, I have a laser and refuse to pay the ink tax.
