Bug Description
Binary package hint: xsane
Every time (and in every distribution) I have to modify a few sane files to make my Epson Stylus CX-5000 printer work as a scanner (it is already "supported" as CX4800 in standard cups, or actually as the CX5000 with cupsys-
However, to make it work automatically with sane so I can scan, I always need to make the following changes. Perhaps it can be pushed upstream for a permanent fix.
/etc/sane.
(I expected it to work without the change to epson.conf, but it wouldn't.)
/etc/udev/
# Epson CX-5000 | Epson CX-5000
SYSFS{idVendor}
After that, I unplug the scanner then replug. It will then be available.

This is actually a bug in the underlying sane rather than the xsane frontend, so reassigning. Troy, can you search upstreams bug tracker to see if it has been reported there and if it has, can you open a bug task linking to that bug.
