be aware Iscan apparently still uses it. (at least latest vendor supplied version)
That seems to not bet true with openSUSE:Factory/iscan-free as far as I can see.
iscan-free != Iscan iscan-free is only the plain "epkowa" driver and works only for scanners which need only the plain "epkowa" driver but no additional proprietary modules, see "rpm -qi iscan-free" In contrast Iscan from Avasys provides much more, in particular additional proprietary modules and a user frontend which are needed by many models. Currently Iscan from Avasys is needed at least for the following models: # /usr/lib/YaST2/bin/create_scanner_database | grep '^iscan|epkowa|' or see the models which have a "DFSG non-free" comment in http://www.sane-project.org/lists/sane-backends-external.html#S-EPKOWA Kind Regards Johannes Meixner -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH -- Maxfeldstrasse 5 -- 90409 Nuernberg -- Germany HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendoerffer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
