Needless to say, it's one of those scanners unsupported by SANE according to their list, http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html#Z-EPSON While it can be probed with # sane-find-scanner -q found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x0142 [EPSON Perfection V33/V330]) at libusb:/dev/usb:/dev/ugen3.3 that's about the end of it. A lot of googling turned up that some company named Avasys/Seiko/Epson provides an "Image Scan!" application for Linux, which, strangely enough, also uses some sane-backend. Now before I try to make that pig fly by installing rpms in the Linuxulator, (just to find out that for yet more obscure reason this does't work so easily), has anyone gotten a V33 to successfully scan under FreeBSD?
