Two Epson scanners at the same time (OS: Linux, MAC etc.)
Sometime on Wed, 19 Jul 2006 23:30:52 -0700, MOD scribbled:

Most people have problems getting Windows to recognize two scanners being
powered up and connected at the same time on the same computer, so you will
probably want to investigate the other OS's.
I don't talk about Windows, because I've Linux and Mac, so I need plug
both scanners under control those OS's. Does anybody know how do this?
(Both scanners must scan at the same time).
Shouldn't be a problem under Linux at least. Just run two instances of
your scanning software with the relevant scanner chosen for each one.
At the very least, the command line driven scanimage (part of the sane
backend download) can take a scanner device as a target source. Very
useful if you are scanning a batch the same size. Just set the
height/width and use the batch commands (intended for auto doc feeders but
you can set it to ask for a key press between scans while you change the
photo)
