While installing suse8.1 the os found the scanner but not the Epson Perfection 2400 Photo. It did have the 2450 listed which I believe is the preceding model. I chose the 2450 but I don't think it accepted my choice. Epson says it does not support linux!
1. How can I find out what the os has used for the scanner, if anything?
2. Is there a way to update the scanner database to include the 2400?
3. If the above does not work should I force the use of the 2450 and if yes, How?
thanks
Hi Serge, Here is a link for some Epson software and drivers on the Linux platform: http://www.epkowa.co.jp/english/linux_e/linux.html Look around.....looks like Epson really wants to support Linux fully. I have an Epson Perfection 1250 Photo scanner and (with the help of Iscan from Epson) it works perfectly on Suse 8.1 including the options of slide and negative scanning. After upgrading Suse I noticed there wasn't an option for the 1250 but there was for the 1650. After finishing the yast setup of the scanner I installed the iscan.rpm. With 8.0 I could only use the iscan software with a support program like gimp (as a plugin). With 8.1 iscan runs nicely on it's own but you can still create a link into gimps plugin directory and use it that way. Hope something here helps you out. Ken
