Hi Chris: The Epson CX-5400 is supported http://www.sane-project.org/cgi-bin/driver.pl?manu=Epson+&model=&bus=any (halfway down the page is were it is listed) 1) Install /usr/ports/graphics/sane-backends/ and /usr/ports/graphics/xsane/ 2) run: # sane-find-scanner as root. In the case of my Epson, it found /dev/uscanner0 3) For an Epson scanner edit /usr/local/etc/sane.d/epson.conf and put in the device that sane-find-scanner discovered. In my case, the epson.conf file looks like so. Be sure to comment out the line "scsi EPSON". # epson.conf # # here are some examples for how to configure the EPSON backend # # SCSI scanner: #scsi EPSON # # Parallel port scanner: #pio 0x278 #pio 0x378 #pio 0x3BC # # USB scanner - only enable this if you have an EPSON scanner. It could # otherwise block your non-EPSON scanner from being # recognized. # Depending on your distribution, you may need either the # first or the second entry. #usb /dev/usbscanner0 #usb /dev/usb/scanner0 usb /dev/uscanner0 4) Add your account to group operator like so: operator:*:5:root,$ACCOUNT_THAT_HAS_SCANNER 5) Start Xsane or one of the other front ends and begin scanning. Works like a charm. On Fri, 23 Jul 2004 21:08:51 -0400, Chris <chris@tellme3times.com> wrote: > I just received an Epson Stylus CX-5400.
