Background:



I've been following the help provided by the man pages of sane because my Epson Stylus CX3700 is not detected by Skanlite.
Even though the scanner is found by sane-find-scanner and the scanner itself is supported by the epson2 backend (which I uncommented in dll.conf and whose configuration file I edited adding the line usb 0x04b8 0x0818, in accordance with the syntax usb vendor product, from the man page of sane-usb), when I run the command scanimage -L it still says that no scanners were identified (after waiting some time).



The only thing it occurs to me right now in order to solve this is that in the epson2.conf file the syntax for usb scanners is: usb productID deviceID, which seems different from the one I'm using. But so far I've not found information about what exactly those two parameters are and where to find them (I guess productID might be the same as product).



Any ideas or feedback will be greatly appreciated!



I'm using Kubuntu 16.04 LTS.
