Has anybody got an Epson CX5200 series multipurpose printer running as a
scanner with sane? I have a CX5400 and it prints fine with with gimp or
under cups using the cx5200 driver (set it up from the kde settings panel).
How do I get it working as a scanner with sane? (xsane only sees my
btv video capture card and that doesn't seem to work...I think I need to set
the tuner option correctly but I'm not sure how). I do NOT see any scanner
devices under /dev/usb, infact ONLY the printer shows up. The ONLY usb
device I see is /dev/usb/lp0.

You should be using libusb. Read the documentation.

The problem with the world is stupidity. Not saying there should be a
capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the
safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

You might try the 'iscan' software from Epson Kowa.
