Hi Craig,

I don't know how FC6 differs from Ubuntu, but in the hope that it's
similar enough that it'll just work, here's all I had to do to get an
Epson scanner working on Ubuntu (dapper):
install libsane, sane and sane-utils
edit /etc/sane.d/saned.conf to allow scanning from my subnet
edit /etc/sane.d/dll.conf to uncomment the "net" and "epson"
backends and comment out all the others
create /etc/xinetd.d/saned to run /usr/sbin/saned on port 6566
(sane-port)
restart xinetd
I then had trouble with remote hosts being able to automatically find
the scanner, so after a few hours of trying everything I could think of,
I eventually got it to work properly only in debug mode and only if not
run via xinetd. So, I disabled service via xinetd and wrote a script
which continually ran saned in debug mode:
#/bin/sh
cd /tmp
while /bin/true
do
/usr/sbin/saned -d0 >/dev/null 2>&1
done
and I start that from /etc/rc.local with:
su saned /usr/local/sbin/saned &
Cheers,
John
