No. The list of supported devices listed at www.sane-project.org does not include the V100 but I hoped it would be supported as most Epson scanners use the same backend. There is actually a link to isane which does list a backend for the V100. I downloaded a *.tar.gz file but the README notes that it will only work if the sane frontend has also been built from a tar.gz file. I hesitated to purge the Debian version of the frontend and so have not been able to use the isane version. > > >>> the scanner but the test scanimage >image.pnm suggested in the sane man > >>> page results in scanimage: sane_start: Invalid argument.

I changed the permissions of /dev/bus/usb/004 and /dev/bus/usb/004/002 to 777. Now as tom scanimage -L gives the same response as root. scanimage >image.pnm still fails as described above. > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) > > iD8DBQFF146TS9HxQb37XmcRAjNFAKDs+Ub4qX9i6n1gm0i5YwHJno16wgCgyZ21 > Kg1OxkcokYDbcItV6U6Sd2c= > =b8W9 > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
