Comment 207 for bug 85488

I moved my scanner (Epson 2580) to an older machine without proprietary graphics and installed Fishor's kernel. Now the scanner is detected but there are other issues apparently related to SANE. I'm still looking into it as time permits. On "Edgy", this all just worked. I am appalled at the silence and apparent indifference from Ubuntu maintainers. If there is a strategy for fixing this, how about sharing it with us?

I've been using Linux on my desktop since the early 2.2 kernels. This should tell you that I've done my share of tinkering to get things to work over the years, but that was then. Now I don't have the time or the inclination to mess around. A polished distro like Ubuntu should spare me that trouble, not break major functionality from one version to the next.
