So I could get the error messages again I unpacked the whole lot from the
tar file into a fresh directory. *This* time round, make ran perfectly and
installed OK, and
scanimage -d epson:/dev/scanner
kicked the scanner into life, and a load of scan bytes got dumped to the
screen. Two minutes later I was running xsane.
I think I must have got the configuration seriously screwed up somehow in
my earlier tries, but doing the whole thing again from scratch in a new
directory fixed it - I'd previously unpacked stuff into the same directory
when trying a redo from start...
Sorry to have wasted your time.
I must offer my congratulations to the writers of SANE, xsane and the
Epson backend for some fabulous work. I've just done some trial scans
in B&W and colour at varying resolutions - it works beautifully and it's
*nice* to use. Having used and hated the horrible Windows driver for HP
scanners (the one with the picture of the parrot), I think the xsane
interface is wonderful!
I am a happy scanner now.
