I'm running Debian Etch (uname: 2.6.18-5-686 #1 SMP Wed Sep 26 17:54:59 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux) on a Pentium 4 desktop. My scanner is a USB connected Epson Perfection 1260. It worked perfectly under Mandriva Linux; however, Xsane under Debian shows no devices available.
lshw recognizes the scanner but shows the usb as unclaimed: *-usb:0 description: USB Controller product: VT82xxxxx UHCI USB 1.1 Controller vendor: VIA Technologies, Inc. physical id: 10 bus info: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:10.0 version: 80 width: 32 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: uhci bus_master cap_list configuration: driver=uhci_hcd latency=32 resources: ioport:d400-d41f irq:11 *-usbhost product: UHCI Host Controller vendor: Linux 2.6.18-5-686 uhci_hcd physical id: 1 bus info: [EMAIL PROTECTED] logical name: usb1 version: 2.06 capabilities: usb-1.10 configuration: driver=hub maxpower=0mA slots=2 speed=12.0MB/s *-usb UNCLAIMED description: Generic USB device product: EPSON Scanner vendor: EPSON physical id: 1 bus info: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:1 version: 1.00 capabilities: usb-1.10 configuration: maxpower=2mA speed=12.0MB/s lsusb also lists the scanner: tomshome:/var/log# lsusb Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 001 Device 003: ID 04b8:011d Seiko Epson Corp.

I have not been able to find the answer through google or the Debian User list archives and will appreciate any help you can provide.
