I want to be able to respond programatically to the button on my Canon DR-M160 scanner. Here is the results of the initial research conducted.

* http://scanbuttond.sourceforge.net/
* http://sourceforge.net/projects/scanbuttond/files/ - Downloads appear broken

A Linux daemon to poll for USB events from a scanner.

This search turned up a couple of others - both on SourceForge. Pity the download seems broken at the moment!

* http://sourceforge.net/projects/scanbd/
* http://sourceforge.net/projects/sbd-scripts/

Attempted to download these examples today (2015-07-25) but SourceForge downloads are broken. the published CVS urls aso do not respond and SVN is down...

Finally found the solution:

Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Devices and Printers\Epsone Perfection V500

Right click => Scan Properties

Tab Events

'Prompt which program to run' is selected

Select 'Start with this program' => done.

The issue was not too localized as it applies to many devices with events. It is not a Epson problem to my opinion, but a general customization in Windows, which I failed to discover up until now.
