A
gimp-print-ijs
Multi-function device: Printer, Scanner, Copier.<p>
The printing engine seems to be the C82, so when your GIMP-Print
version does not list this device explicitly as supported, pretend
that you have the C82.<p>
To be able to scan you need either kernel 2.4.21 or newer or you
need to do a small change in the "<tt>scanner.o</tt>"
module of older kernels. See <a
href="http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/2571/2002/10/0/9767006/">this
posting on the linux-usb-devel mailing list</a> and the
thread "<a
href="http://www.linuxprinting.org/pipermail/epson-list/2002q4/thread.html">Epson
Stylus cx3200 MFP</a>" on the <a
href="http://www.linuxprinting.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/epson-list">Epson
Forum</a>.<p>
You have to remove the following from the
<tt>drivers/usb/scanner.c</tt> file in the kernel
source:<p>
<tt>
if (dev->config[0].bNumInterfaces != 1) {<br>
info("probe_scanner: Only one device interface is supported.");<br>
return NULL;<br>
}<p>
</tt>
Then you have to recompile, install, and reload the
"<tt>scanner.o</tt>" kernel module (the commands have
to be executed as "root", we assume that the kernel source code is
in the <tt>/usr/src/linux</tt> directory):<p>
<tt>
cd /usr/src/linux<br>
make modules<br>
cp drivers/usb/scanner.o /lib/modules/<Linux version>/kernel/drivers/usb/<br>
rmmod scanner<br>
modprobe scanner vendor=0x04b8 product=0x0801<p>
</tt>
After having done so you can configure <a
href="http://www.sane-project.org/">SANE</a> to use the
CX5200 with the "<tt>epson</tt>" scanner driver, it is
probably compatible to the Epson Perfection 1200U.<p>
Copying should just work with the front panel of the
device.<p>
