  Hi,

  I'm trying to get the Epson GT-6500 to work with SANE.

  I installed SANE 1.0.3 according to the instructions on RedHat 6.1.

  The scanner is connected via SCSI.

  I created a link from /dev/scanner to /dev/sg2.

  Output of 'find-svcanner':
  find-scanner: checking /dev/scanner... open ok
  find-scanner: found processor "EPSON SC ANNER GT-6500 1.17" at device
  /dev/scanner
  ...
  find-scanner: checking /dev/sg2... open ok
  find-scanner: found processor "EPSON SC ANNER GT-6500 1.17" at
  device /dev/sg2
  ...
  find-scanner: checking /dev/sgc... open ok
  find-scanner: found processor "EPSON SC ANNER GT-6500 1.17" at device
  /dev/sgc

  So I edited /usr/local/etc/sane.d/epson.conf to contain:
  scsi EPSON
  /dev/scanner

  But doing a scanimage -L results in:
  [epson] ident failed
  and hangs.

  I tried to set SANE_DEBUG_EPSON to 8 and got the following output when
  starting scanimage -L:
  [sanei_debug] Setting debug level of epson to 8.
  [epson] sane_init: sane 1.0.3
  [epson] sane_init, >scsi EPSON<
  [epson] sane_init, >scsi EPSON<

  [epson] attach(/dev/sgc)
  [epson] attach: opening /dev/sgc
  [epson] attach: sending INQUIRY
  [epson] >EPSON SCANNER GT-6500 1.17<
  [epson] send buf, size = 2
  [epson] receive buf, expected = 4, got = 4
  [epson] code 06
  [epson] get_identity_information()
  [epson] send buf, size = 2
  [epson] ident failed
  [epson] sane_init, >/dev/scanner<
  [epson] sane_init, >/dev/scanner<
  [epson] SANE Epson Backend v0.1.33 - 2000-07-29
  [epson] attach(/dev/scanner)
  [epson] attach: opening /dev/scanner

  After the last message I can only terminate scanimage by ctrl-c.

  Any idea what could be wrong? According to
  http://www.mostang.com/sane/sane-backends.html this scanner should work
  at least on parallel interface. i use scsi which might be the problem ...?
  But how can I make it work on scsi???

  Peter
