F11: Espon Perfection 2480 USB scanner

[lanas]

All,

  Is there a HOWTO around on how to use an Epson perfection 2480 USB
scanner on Fedora 11 x86_64 ?

  So far sane-find-scanner (run as root) returns two devices:

found USB scanner (vendor=0x146a [Knobloch-GmbH], 
product=0x0003 [fischertechnik Robo RF Data Link (Knobloch GmbH)]) 
at libusb:004:002

found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], 
product=0x0121 [EPSON Scanner]) 
at libusb:001:002

I hope that the first one does not confuse the system.  It is *not* a scanner.

Then scanimage -L returns:

device `snapscan:libusb:001:002' is a EPSON EPSON Scanner flatbed scanner

And when I try something like:

scanimage -d 'snapscan:libusb:001:002'

It returns:

[snapscan] Cannot open firmware file /usr/share/sane/snapscan/your-firmwarefile.bin.

[snapscan] Edit the firmware file entry in snapscan.conf.

scanimage: open of device snapscan:libusb:001:002 failed: Invalid argument

I have no idea what this is about.

Any help welcomed.

Cheers.
