Well, color me impressed! I have recently got myself a new all-in-one, an Epson Stylus Office BX525WD (phew). Today I decided to test the scanner part. Note: the Epson is only connected to my wireless network (and power). So I fired up scanimage on my Xubuntu laptop: tingo at kg-u35jc:~$ scanimage --version scanimage (sane-backends) 1.0.21; backend version 1.0.21 tingo at kg-u35jc:~$ scanimage -L device `epson2:net:10.1.161.8' is a Epson PID 085E flatbed scanner
I'm running this: tingo at kg-u35jc:~$ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 10.10 Release: 10.10 Codename: maverick tingo at kg-u35jc:~$ uname -a Linux kg-u35jc 2.6.35-28-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 18 18:42:20 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux Then I used Simple Scan; the scanner showed there also, and scanning worked perfectly. (I tried with gscan2pdf 0.9.31 also, but it couldn't find any devices). Thanks! -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen
