Gimp 2 & Epson Scanners

First my system:
Kernel 2.6.5 should work with 2.6.3 or newer Fedora 2 test 3 Fedora 2 stable should be out by end of month Gimp 2.0.1
libusb-0.1.8
sane-backends-1.0.13
sane-frontends-1.0.11
xsane-gimp-0.92
sane-backends-devel-1.0.13
xsane-0.92
Epson Perfection 610 usb
execute sane-find-scanner | grep usb output:
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x0103 [Perfection610 ]) at libusb:001:002
(libusb:aaa:bbb)

take vender#, product#, & libusb #s

edit /etc/sane.d/epson.conf (as root) leave everything commented out
add at bottom: usb 0x04b8 0x0103
in other words: usb [vender#] [product#]

If you need the scanner available to all users on your system: chmod 666 /proc/bus/usb/001/002 (as root) (chmod 666 /proc/bus/usb//)

PS FOR THE GEEKS: sane-find-scanner | grep libusb | LCC_ALL=C sed -e \ "s/found USB scanner [\(]vendor\=\(.*\)\ .*\ product=\(.*\)\[.* \(.*\ \)\\(.*\)\libusb\(.*\)/usb \1 \2\nchmod 666 \/proc\/bus\/usb\5 /g" \ | tr ':' '/'
