Xsane does not recognize scanner
I'm running Debian Etch (uname: 2.6.18-5-686 #1 SMP Wed Sep 26 17:54:59
UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux) on a Pentium 4 desktop. My scanner is a USB
connected Epson Perfection 1260. It worked perfectly under Mandriva
Linux; however, Xsane under Debian shows no devices available.
lshw recognizes the scanner but shows the usb as unclaimed:

lsusb also lists the scanner:

syslog does not mention the scanner.
I have not been able to find the answer through google or the Debian
User list archives and will appreciate any help you can provide.
Thanks much,
Tom Ashley
