Comments
Multi-function device: Printer, Scanner, Copier.
The printing engine seems to be the C82, so when your Gimp-Print version does not list this device explicitly as supported, pretend that you have the C82.
To be able to scan you need either kernel 2.4.21 or newer or you need to do a small change in the "scanner.o" module of older kernels. See this posting on the linux-usb-devel mailing list and the thread "Epson Stylus cx3200 MFP" on the Epson Forum.
You have to remove the following from the drivers/usb/scanner.c file in the kernel source:
if (dev->config[0].bNumInterfaces != 1) {
info("probe_scanner: Only one device interface is supported.");
return NULL;
}
Then you have to recompile, install, and reload the "scanner.o" kernel module (the commands have to be executed as "root", we assume that the kernel source code is in the /usr/src/linux directory):
cd /usr/src/linux
make modules
cp drivers/usb/scanner.o /lib/modules/<Linux version>/kernel/drivers/usb/
rmmod scanner
modprobe scanner vendor=0x04b8 product=0x0801
After having done so you can configure SANE to use the CX5200 with the "epson" scanner driver, it is probably compatible to the Epson Perfection 1200U.
Copying should just work with the front panel of the device.
