Weird, XSane works fine for me on my Epson.
With my Epson I found that the open-source drivers produced worse
images and they didn't have a way to turn on the slide-scanning
backlight. Epson offered their own closed-source Linux scanning
program that worked better with it.
Exactly
On the other hand the open source drivers and Xsane work great with
the scanner built into my Brother laser printer. Just like with
cheap printers and Linux, it comes down to luck.
That is interesting to know
-- If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.Joseph Goebbels
