open a terminal and copy and paste the following:
Code:
gksudo gedit /etc/sane.d/epson.conf
then you will see the following:
Code:
# 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 <product ID> <device ID>
# e.g.:
# usb 0x4b8 0x110
# And for the scanner module, use the following configuration:
#usb /dev/usbscanner0
#usb /dev/usb/scanner0
the line that is in bold letters needs # to be removed from the beginning of the line and product ID and device ID inserted.
you will need to do to find out the product ID and device ID.
an example of what lsusb looks like, and what #'s you need are:
Code:
ed@wolfenstein:~$ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 077: ID 03f0:7e04 Hewlett-Packard
Bus 001 Device 076: ID 0764:0501 Cyber Power System, Inc.
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 1241:1203 Belkin
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 045e:0040 Microsoft Corp. Wheel Mouse Optical
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
the #'s in bold are what you need.
close and save.
