21 NO WAY though...
22 I tried the same with epson backend, but
23 # SANE_DEBUG_EPSON=128 scanimage -L
24
25 still gives the same output as epkowa does:
26 [sanei_debug] Setting debug level of epson to 128.

67 No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
68 check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
69 sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
70 which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).

72 Any other idea on what's going wrong?
