I have a Epson CX49000 all in one Print Scan Copy.

Has a USB Interface.

found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8, product=0x082b) at libusb:005:008
found USB scanner (vendor=0x16d8, product=0x6280) at libusb:003:002
# Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by
# SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.
# Not checking for parallel port scanners.
# Most Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports
# can't be detected by this program.
# You may want to run this program as root to find all devices. Once you
# found the scanner devices, be sure to adjust access permissions as
# necessary.
The fist item listed with sane-find-scanner is correct the second item is a usb 3g modem
~$ scanimage -l
scanimage: no SANE devices found
I am stuck at this point how can i get sane to see the scanner.

Getting closer to a solution I edited th etc/sane.d/epson.conf file to thisHusse wrote:I'm having similar problems and is looking for a solution. I'll be posting something shortly, most likely a cry for help (for both of us) rather than a solution
# epson.conf
#
# here are some examples for how to configure the EPSON backend
#
# SCSI scanner:
#scsi EPSON
# for the GT-6500:
scsi "EPSON SC"
# Parallel port scanner:
#pio 0x278
#pio 0x378
#pio 0x3BC
#
# USB scanner:
# There are two different methods of configuring a USB scanner: libusb and the kernel module
# For any system with libusb support (which is pretty much any recent Linux distribution) the
# following line is sufficient. This however assumes that the connected scanner (or to be more
# accurate, it's device ID) is known to the backend.
#usb
# For libusb support for unknown scanners use the following command
usb 0x4b8 0x082b
# e.g.:
# usb 0x4b8 0x110
# And for the scanner module, use the following configuration:
#usb /dev/usbscanner0
#usb /dev/usb/scanner0
Ican now scan if i run xsane as root so it is a permission problem i am investigating further.
