OK... I got sane-find-scanner working (had to install sane-utils,
ooops). Now here is what I get:
--
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x0110 [EPSON
Scanner]) at libusb:001:005
--
But when I try a scanimage -L it says no scanners found... Where is
the actual device located? I can't find it in /dev.

Thanks,

Sam
