1) I don't use scsi definition
2) if lsmod tells you module scanner loaded ?
3) be in text shell ( ALT-CTRL-F1 )
user : root
with PC and SCANNER on, if you connect the usb cable
it tells you :
usb.c USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x4b8/0x10c) is not claimed by any
active driver.
usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout
usb.c: error getting string descriptor 0 ( error=-110)
This means that sane-backends is not installed !!!
Using Mandrake 8.0 I did not install everything and so I found sane
not installed
and to do that later was composed with several files
after installation of : sane-backends-1.0.4, libsane1.0.4,
sane-1.04,sane-frontends-1.0.4
in /etc/sane.d/epson.conf enable : usb /dev/usb/scanner0
rmmod scanner
modprobe scanner vendor=0x4b8 product=0x10c
at this point :
scanimage -L should tell : device 'epson:/dev/usb/scanner0' is a Epson
Perfection6640 flated scanner
scanimage -d epson -mode gray > t.pnm
remember that some work more needs to be done for color acquisition
