No module for scanner?
 
I have a usb scanner Epson Perfection 2480 PHOTO, it works perfectly at windows, but at Linux I have a problem.
As I understand,I need the scanner module to make device working properly. But in menuconfig I see only one thing related to scanners: "Driver for Microtek Scanmaker X6 USB scanner".
Is this a driver for all scanners, or where can I get normal driver?

Have a look at the SANE website, your scanner is supported

Module "scanner" only works with the 2.4 kernel. If you're using the 2.6 kernel, you need to set up your scanner with libusb (see here )

Have you already run "sane-find-scanner" to configure your scanner?

My scanner is supported, here is the output from sane-find-scanner
Code:
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x0121 [EPSON Scanner]) at libusb:001:003
  # Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by
  # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.
The backend for my scanner is snapscan. In /etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf I have found lines for my scanner. What should I do to make it working together? xscanimage still says that there is no scanner installed

In snapscan.conf make sure that the line under the name of your scanner is not commented out. It should be something like: usb 0x04b8 0x0121

Save the file and make it executable. No other files in /etc/sane.d should be executable, only snapscan.conf

Run scanimage -L and see if the scanner is recognized. (You may need to reboot before)

I made all as you say, but there is no effect.
As I can understand, my system sees the scanner but does nothing =\.
Here is the output from dmesg:

First, post the result of "lsmod" and "cat /proc/filesystems | grep usb".

Go to /proc/bus/usb. You should have two directories (amongst others) there, one called 001 and one called 003. Make all files in those directories readable and writable

Great thanks to you!
After I changed permissions in /proc/bus/usb it started to work.

Linuxquestions.org is the best site! Thanks again :)
