Epson Perfection V100 scanner

[brian <brian@meadows.pair.com>]

Has anyone managed to get an Epson Perfection V100 Photo scanner 
working reliably with Debian SID?

I have the drivers from Epson's Japanese site, I've made the 
appropriate tweaks to the configuration file to add the scanner and 
manufacturer ID, and the scanner works just fine - for between two and 
five pages, when it locks solid, and I have to exit the program and 
reboot the scanner to get it to work again.

I've tested the scanner on a Windows XP box and it works just fine on 
there, so it's not the scanner itself which is the problem.

Anyone have any ideas?


Thanks,

Brian.
