Just successfully installed an Epson Workforce 845 printer-FAX-scanner. Printer works OK, but there don't seem to be any drivers etc. for the scanner function(s). Any clues?

According to the SANE web site

Time to edit: gksudo gedit /etc/sane.d/epkowa.conf Example Snippet follows:
# epkowa.conf -- sample configuration for the EPKOWA SANE backend # Copyright (C) 2004, 2008, 2009 Olaf Meeuwissen # # See sane-epkowa(5), sane-usb(5) and sane-scsi(5) for details. # Detect all devices supported by the backend. # If you don't have a SCSI device, you can comment out the "scsi" # keyword. Similarly for the other keywords. # usb scsi # For any USB scanner not known to the backend (yet), you may, at your # own peril(!!), force the backend to recognise and use it via libusb. # You can do so by the following configuration command: # # usb <USB vendor ID> <USB product ID> # # SEIKO EPSON's USB vendor ID is '0x04b8' (without quotes). In order # to find the USB product ID, use lsusb(1). # A sample configuration for the Epson Perfection 1650 (Epson GT-8200), # which has a product ID of 0x0110, would look as follows: # #usb 0x04b8 0x0110 you will need to insert (vendor=0x04b8, product=0x0892) per the example and remove the "#" at the beginning code line. Save and reboot.
