Hi.
I'm actually playing with an Epson Stylus 4050 multifunction printer.

The printer parts works as well as the scanner *but* not at the same

time.

I have to disable ulpt using config(8) and reboot if I want to be able

to use the scanner. I don't need/use uscanner as sane-backends (scan

application/library) can make use of libusb to access the hardware (so

all I need is a ugen device).
Is there a way to use ulpt0 and ugen0 (or uscanner0 even) at the same

time (well not printing+scanning at the same second but at least be able

to use either scan or print without rebooting the box)?

AFAIK, I don't think this is possible, but I may be mistaken.
I'd be happy to try anything.

Thanks.
