No. [Very sorry for not having replied to that question before. I have simply repressed it (verdrängt in German) because sane, scanimage and last not least usbd clearly proved - to my troubled mind - that the scanner was not attached and I was subconsciously convinced that dmesg signals only events during system startup. This is how I used it up to now. I still don't know what `core file' and `name list' or `kernel image' exactly means.] > If you do _not_ get a message like: > > uscanner0: EPSON EPSON Scanner, rev 1.10/3.02, addr 2 > > in your dmesg after you plug in the scanner, I'd say that your kernel > doesn't recognize the scanner for some reason. This would be a bug in 4.x. So I've got a long-standing bug (on two different boxes and several releases starting in 2001) Very strange that I'd be the only case in this world. I couldn't find anything in the mailing list archives. > If it does appear, the scanner is found by the kernel. If the scanner > does not work in this case, what exactly is the reported error?
