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)

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 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.
and this is the strange part: why does it not show the scanner? What does lsusb return? Does the scanner work under Windows? Not that it matters much as the scanner seems not supported by Sane right now. But maybe this is just a matter of adding the usb id....

The scanner does show in an lsusb -v, but not without the -v, here is a snippet: ========================== Bus 001 Device 002: ID 04b8:0856 Seiko Epson Corp.
