This is not the first time these problems come out. I have a GT 300<br>
parallel port scanner which shows similar problems, sane specifies "This<br>
doesn't look an Epson scanner" and quits. The problem, I think, is to be<br>
seeked for in the commands supported by the various scanners, and in the<br>
answers given to the driver. And yes, it's difficult. And no, I didn't<br>
have the time to try until now... :(((<br>
