    Lars,

    is the G7000 known by any other name? Is it possible that this is
    the GT-7000 (or Perfection 636)? If that's the case then it
    really should work. This is the scanner that Christian used to
    implement the TPU stuff. I don't have access to a TPU, so I
    can not test this myself.

    If you can provide log files I should however be able to figure
    out what's wrong.

    To turn on logging you have to set an environment variable:
    export SANE_DEBUG_EPSON=128
    This will log _EVERYTHING_ - every byte going from the scanner
    to the backend and the other direction are written to a file,
    so be careful when you set the resolution. Try to limit this to
    50 dpi scans. If the scanner never start to send data however this
    is not a problem.

    BTW: Which version of the EPSON backend are you using?

    This is all under the assumption that your scanner is the
    Perfection 636 (or GT-7000). There are problems with the TPU
    with the Perfection 1200, Epson changed something in the comamnd
    set and I'm still trying to figure out if I can get away without
    having to implement all the new commands.
