Bug Description

EPSON PM-A820's scanner is not recognized by default by Ubuntu on Jaunty, Karmic and Lucid.

[WORKAROUND 1] : in Jaunty i just had to install libsane-extras

[WORKAROUND 2] : in Karmic and Lucid, I had to install Jaunty's version of libsane-extras

[WORKAROUND 3] : in Lucid, installing libsane 1.0.21 (http://ppa.launchpad.net/robert-ancell/sane-backends/ubuntu/pool/main/s/sane-backends/libsane_1.0.21-2ubuntu1_i386.deb) works fine for me.

Hope that libsane 1.0.21 will soon be in the Ubuntu's repository !

I confirm this bug also on Lucid. As it is a regression, there should be a way to solve it ! How can we help ?

summary: - libsane-extras Karmic doesn't work any more with EPSON PM-A820, while
- Jaunty's is ok.
+ [Regression] libsane-extras doesn't work any more with EPSON PM-A820
