Subject: Epson 1250 doesn't seem to be recognized...

I'm using sane-backends-1.0.11 with a Epson Perfection 1250 USB scanner.

The scanner shows up with "usbview" and sane-find-scanner:

douglas@fastpc:~/sane-backends-1.0.11> sane-find-scanner


found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8, product=0x010f) at /dev/usb/scanner0
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8, product=0x010f) at /dev/usbscanner
   # Your USB scanner was detected. It may or may not be supported by
   # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.

But "scanimage" reports:

scanimage -d epson:/dev/usb/scanner0
[epson] The device at /dev/usb/scanner0 is not a supported EPSON scanner 
(product id=0x10f)
[epson] Error opening the devicescanimage: open of device 
epson:/dev/usb/scanner0 failed: Invalid argument

My /etc/sane.d/epson.conf reads:

usb /dev/usb/scanner0

My /etc/sane.d/plustek.conf reads:

[usb] 0x04B8 0x010f
device /dev/usbscanner
option lampOff 0
option warmup 10

This scanner is in the compatibility chart.  Does anyone know what might 
be going on here?

Thanks
