1. Download iscan-1.13.0-3.i386.rpm from www.epkowa.co.jp
I just went to that site, selected MY scanner, Epson Perfection 4180 Photo, and it came back with iscan-1.14.0-3.i386.rpm .
In Suse Linux 9.3 we have the package iscan-1.13.1.1 included which was the most up-to-date version which was available from Epson Kowa when we made Suse Linux 9.3. The epkowa.desc (description for the epkowa backend) shows that the "Perfection 4180 PHOTO" has "good" support status with the limitation that it "only scans up to 2400dpi". The epson.desc (description for the epson backend) shows that the "Perfection 4180" is "unsupported". Therefore it should work o.k. under Suse Linux 9.3 as is provided - the USB system can reliably communicate with the device - you use the epkowa backend - you use the iscan frontend See http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2004/10/jsmeix_scanner-setup-92.html and http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2005/03/jsmeix_scanner-setup-93.html Kind Regards Johannes Meixner -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5 Mail: jsmeix@suse.de 90409 Nuernberg, Germany WWW: http://www.suse.de/
