The vendor ID is strange. If you have an "Epson" scanner, the vendor ID should be 0x04b8 (see below). I don't know which vendor 0x041e is.
according to http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids 041e = Creative 401c = WebCam NX Ultra ?! I think Richard must have misread the list.

According to http://www.sane-project.org/cgi-bin/driver.pl?manu=epson&model=620&bus=any the RX620 works with the epkowa driver since version 1.1.17. On the Suse Linux 10.0 CDs there is version 1.1.15. If the above entry in /etc/sane.d/epkowa.conf doesn't work, you would neeed the iscan (or iscan-free) package version 1.1.17,
FWIW, the scanner files I downloaded from Avasys for the RX620's scanner appear to be much later (or is there a numbering change?): iscan-1.17.0-1.c2.i386.rpm iscan-1.17.0-1.c2.tar.gz userg_revG_e.pdf Thanks very much for this posting Johannes. It will be very useful to me when I come to set up the scanner. Chees, Dave
