[2010-06-30 11:03]: There should be no package iscan or iscan-proprietary-drivers or iscan-firmware in any of our "official" openSUSE projects. I filed deleterequests for all those IScan related proprietary packages, see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=556097#c9
... Please retain at least iscan-firmware, many Epson scanners will not work without it. Without this package the firmware has to be extracted manually from the Windows driver which is quita a hassle.
It is much easier to visit the Avasys web site and download their proprietary packages from them to make Epson scanners which need proprietary stuff work well under Linux.
No, models like the Epson Perfection 3490/3590 work fine with the opensource sane snapscan driver, they don't need the epkowa driver or the iscan application, just the firmware. -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
