Greetings; My truly ancient Epson C82 finally refused to respond to the head cleaning paddles yesterday, so I went out and got a new Epson NX515 combo scanner & printer. It signs on as: (Fedora 10, kernel 2.6.32-rc5) ===================== Oct 23 20:27:15 coyote kernel: [598891.940960] usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 16 Oct 23 20:27:15 coyote kernel: [598892.079434] usb 1-4: New USB device found, idVendor=04b8, idProduct=0856 Oct 23 20:27:15 coyote kernel: [598892.079437] usb 1-4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 Oct 23 20:27:15 coyote kernel: [598892.079440] usb 1-4: Product: USB2.0 MFP(Hi-Speed) Oct 23 20:27:15 coyote kernel: [598892.079442] usb 1-4: Manufacturer: EPSON Oct 23 20:27:15 coyote kernel: [598892.079444] usb 1-4: SerialNumber: 4C454C593037313524 Oct 23 20:27:15 coyote kernel: [598892.079540] usb 1-4: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Oct 23 20:27:15 coyote kernel: [598892.087345] usblp2: USB Bidirectional printer dev 16 if 1 alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x04B8 pid 0x0856 Oct 23 20:27:15 coyote kernel: [598892.088576] scsi10 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices Oct 23 20:27:20 coyote kernel: [598897.090894] scsi 10:0:0:0: Direct-Access EPSON Storage 1.00 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2 Oct 23 20:27:20 coyote kernel: [598897.091362] sd 10:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg9 type 0 Oct 23 20:27:20 coyote kernel: [598897.101631] sd 10:0:0:0: [sdi] Attached SCSI removable disk Oct 23 20:27:23 coyote hal_lpadmin: File "/usr/libexec/hal_lpadmin", line 717, in main#012 h = HalLpAdmin() Oct 23 20:27:23 coyote hal_lpadmin: File "/usr/libexec/hal_lpadmin", line 686, in __init__#012 self.addPrinter() Oct 23 20:27:23 coyote hal_lpadmin: File "/usr/libexec/hal_lpadmin", line 700, in addPrinter#012 printer.add() Oct 23 20:27:23 coyote hal_lpadmin: File "/usr/libexec/hal_lpadmin", line 541, in add#012 location=os.uname ()[1]) Oct 23 20:27:23 coyote hal_lpadmin: IPPError: (1025, 'client-error-forbidden') ========================= which appears that the scanner, ahh, wait, its got a card reader in it too, in addition to ethernet and bluetooth. So that explains /dev/sg9 and /dev/sgi. So there are two problems, which do not prevent it from being used for all sorts of utility printing. Problem 1 is that the newest Epson/gutenprint drivers are for the NX400 series, so the maximum useable resolution is 1440x720, whereas it can go as high as 5760x2880. I would like to be able to get to 2880x2880 for photo work. Problem 2 is that the scanner doesn't even check in as shown above. OTOH, I also have an Epson 1250u that works flawlessly, but it would be nice to get rid of one rather high occupancy item here in the coyote.den. The current xsane device dialog skips it, going directly to the Epson 1250u, so xsane isn't seeing it, and while I have kooka according to the menu's, it doesn't come when called. Has anyone a clue to pass along? Thanks. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
