[Bug 34551] Re: scanimage not accessing epson perfection 2450

[David Fletcher]

My pleasure!

You might like to know that I recently built a new PC using an Asus
M2N-E SLI board and an Athlon dual core energy efficient processor with
OCZ heatsink and an Antec case with Earthwatts power supply. The board
has a firewire socket, and the Epson 2450 scanner "just works" with
Kubuntu Gutsy and firewire on this board. And this new machine runs cold
- unlike the P4 that's more like an expensive fan heater.

Actually, there was a better solution than chmod every time when using
Feisty. I found out how to write a udev rule which I called
10-dave.rules:-

ATTRS{model}=="GT-9700", ATTRS{vendor}=="EPSON",        GROUP="scanner"

and saved into /etc/udev/ I was told that the problem was that somebody had got rule wrong by entering epson or Epson instead of EPSON, which meant that this machine was not recognised, therefore it was not assigned to the scanner group therefore nobody could access it.
I also heard that somebody in Red Hat was working on a USB solution for this scanner, and had it working, but because I've got nothing else that needs a firewire socket, I'll just keep this system as it is. I have an issue with the sound system on this motherboard but my scanner works.
