  Hi all,
  I have an Epson Perfection 1240U, and am trying to get it going under SuSE
  7.1. I have a vanilla 2.4.3 kernel installed and compiled with USB / UHCI /
  SCANNER all as modules. This is my first attempt at using a USB device, and
  unfortunately I'm not having any luck with it :(

  I have /etc/sane.d/epson.conf containing just:
  usb /dev/usb/scanner0

  I insert the scanner module with the line:
  insmod scanner product=0x10b vendor=0x4b8

  and when I type lsmod, I get:
  usbcore 46832 1 [scanner usb-uhci]
  usb-uhci 21776 0 (unused)
  scanner 6256 0

  I have the following installed:
  sane-1.0.4-3
  xsane-0.70-0

  When I type "xsane" at the shell prompt, I get the message:
  xsane: no devices available
  and in the console, it shows:
  [epson] ident failed

  In /var/log/messages, I see:
  Apr 20 12:29:01 lancelot modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-81
  Apr 20 12:29:01 lancelot last message repeated 4 times
  Apr 20 12:29:01 lancelot kernel: usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 3, frame# 135
  Apr 20 12:29:01 lancelot kernel: scanner.c: write_scanner: NAK recieved.
  Apr 20 12:29:01 lancelot kernel: usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 3, frame# 143
  Apr 20 12:29:01 lancelot kernel: scanner.c: write_scanner: NAK recieved.

  So I tried a different tactic:

  I used "xsane -s epson:/dev/usbscanner" as the shell prompt command, and
  received the message box:
  Failed to open device "epson:/dev/usbscanner":
  Invalid Argument

  and in the console, I see:
  [epson] ident failed

  /var/log/messages shows:
  Apr 20 12:31:59 lancelot modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-81
  Apr 20 12:31:59 lancelot last message repeated 4 times
  Apr 20 12:31:59 lancelot kernel: usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 3, frame# 1963
  Apr 20 12:31:59 lancelot kernel: scanner.c: write_scanner: NAK recieved.
  Apr 20 12:31:59 lancelot kernel: usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 3, frame# 1970
  Apr 20 12:31:59 lancelot kernel: scanner.c: write_scanner: NAK recieved.
  Apr 20 12:32:01 lancelot kernel: scanner.c: open_scanner(0): Scanner device
  is already open

  lsmod still shows the same as before at this point (unused/0 for both uhci
  and scanner modules).

  What am I doing wrong, and what can I do to get the scanner to work?

  Thanks for any help!
  -Steven
