Sane and Epson Perfection 2450 Photo scanner

[Alex Janssen]

I'm running Ubuntu 6.10 on a Dell Inspiron 1100.
Using the X-sane front end, Sane recognizes my Epson Perfection 2450 
Photo as an GT-9700:004 and does not control it properly.  It fails to 
communicate at all, really.  This is through the USB 2.0 interface.

After Xsane comes up, clicking the [Aquire Preview] button times out 
with the error "Failed to start scanner: Error during I/O.".

The Sane site reports the EP 2450 as a supported scanner.

Does anyone know anything about this or something I might try?

Thanks,
Alex
