I have plugged my Epson Perfection 610 USB scanner into my MEPIS 6.0 box but am unable to scan with it. This scanner is supported by the Epson backend.
# sane-find-scanner
finds the scanner at libusb:003:002
# scanimage -vT -d epson
moves the scanner head.
# scanimage -L
never returns anything, but uses 100% of the CPU.
$ kooka
never shows a window on the screen.
This problem is essentially the same as
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ht=scanner+usb
which was never answered.
Has anyone gotten an Epson Perfection 610 or newer USB scanner to work with MEPIS 6.0?
