XSane, Epson CX3700, and Ubuntu 6.06 (The Dapper Drake)
by David Sudjiman ~ July 13th, 2006. Filed under: Linux.I know my Ubuntu 6.06 (The Dapper Drake) can print to Epson CX3700. But how do I use the scanner?
My dmesg shows this
[17189201.684000] usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 [17189202.140000] drivers/usb/class/usblp.c: usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 2 if 1 alt 0 proto 2 vid 0×04B8 pid 0×0818 [17189202.140000] usbcore: registered new driver usblp [17189202.140000] drivers/usb/class/usblp.c: v0.13: USB Printer Device Class driver
Using that information, add this line to /etc/sane.d/epson.conf
usb 0x04b8 0x0818
Have Fun!

Nice tutorial, it really amazes me that the Epson CX3700 scanner part was not only not installed properly in Dapper, but also Edgy, Feisty, Gutsy (and possibly Hardy, although I have not tested it yet). You would think by now they would support this scanner out of the box.
Anyway, this method has always worked flawlessly for me, thanks.
