'sane-backends-1.0.27' just stabilised, so I updated to it. |
| 2 |
Previously I had selected 4 items from the list in SANE_BACKENDS, |
| 3 |
which is shown by 'emerge', ie 'epson epson2 plustek plustek_pp'. |
| 4 |
My scanner is an 'Epson V550 Photo'. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Wanting to test which of the 4 items above was needed, I tried each. |
| 7 |
Inadvertently, I tried emerging 'sane-backends' with none included |
| 8 |
& discovered that my scanner still works regardless ! |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
There is a file /etc/hotplug/usb/libsane.usermap , which lists scanners, |
| 11 |
& I have the line under 'V550' enabled. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
What is the purpose of the long list of SANE_BACKENDS, |
| 14 |
if Xsane finds the correct driver with none enabled ? |
