Hi,
I've recently bought an Epson DX6000 all in one printer/scanner/copier.

So far I've been pretty fortunate and got a bunch of drivers from
epson's site and so I can merrily print and scan on my RH EL4.0 box
however.... unfortunately I can't seem to get the memory card reader to
work.

When I do dmesg after I power up the printer I get

usb 2-3: new high speed USB device using address 5
drivers/usb/class/usblp.c: usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 5 if 1
alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x04B8 pid 0x082E

Si I'd assume all should be well however when I cat /etc/fstab the magic
USB hotplug auto fstab updater doesn't seem to have done it's magic (it
works fine when I plug my camera in - for my camera I get the line

/dev/sdc1 /media/usbdisk vfat
pamconsole,noatime,sync,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t,exec,noauto,managed
0 0

added to my fstab, it magically creates a mount point and all is tickety
boo)

I've tried to do a brute force manual mount "mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1
/mnt/usbdisk1" but I get "mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not
exist" reported, which rather seems to conflict with what dmesg is
telling me.

I'd appreciate any thoughts and pointers in the right direction,
Cheers,
Fraser

Check /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog for any other messages
regarding sdb. You should see messages when you insert or remove a card
in the card reader.
