Epson Stylus CX5200 printer/scanner

Hi guys,

I've recently bought a multifunctional Epson CX5200. It has an usb interface, the printer engine is identical to C82, the scanner engine is the typical Perfection 1200's one.

I want to use both features :) With usb stuff compiled statically in kernel, the device is correctly recognized as:

ulpt0: EPSON USB MFP, rev 1.10/1.00, addr 2, iclass 7/1
ulpt0: using bi-directional mode

and works perfectly with its gimp-print driver. 

In order to make the scanner work, I made the simple patch in attachment, and removed the usb support from kernel.

Using modules, and loading uscanner module, the device is correctly recognized and works perfectly under xsane.

With both modules, it is recognized only as uscanner0. To have the ulpt0 device back, I've to unload uscanner, load ulpt, and reattach the device.

Is there any workaround to use _BOTH_ drivers simultaneously, this procedure is quite annoying :(

Thanks in advance for any kind of help.

Bye,
Dario

P.S.: please cc: me :)
