Subject: [gentoo-user] insane backends
Date: Sun, 29 Oct 2017 22:39:31 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171030023931.GA1980@ca.inter.net> (raw)
'sane-backends-1.0.27' just stabilised, so I updated to it.
Previously I had selected 4 items from the list in SANE_BACKENDS,
which is shown by 'emerge', ie 'epson epson2 plustek plustek_pp'.
My scanner is an 'Epson V550 Photo'.
Wanting to test which of the 4 items above was needed, I tried each.
Inadvertently, I tried emerging 'sane-backends' with none included
& discovered that my scanner still works regardless !
There is a file /etc/hotplug/usb/libsane.usermap , which lists scanners,
& I have the line under 'V550' enabled.
What is the purpose of the long list of SANE_BACKENDS,
if Xsane finds the correct driver with none enabled ?
