Can I for instance install the Epson iscan-firmware for the V100 Perfection Photo scanner, which is said to have problems with 64-bit systems as it is 32-bit firmware only?

In my experience (OpenSuSE 10.2 64bit), you can install the epkowa package and it will work, but it won't integrate in sane / kooka (them being 64bit).

The epkowa package contains a scanning front-end (called iScan) and you'll most likely be stuck with that (I am). Not as nice as Kooka, but it works.

Thanx Philippe,

I have tried to install the iScan, but it needs an libieee1284.so.3 (32 Bit). Installed by default on openSUSE 10.3 is the libieee1284.so.3()(64bit) 0.2.10-107, in /usr/lib64
So I guess the i586 libs will go into /usr/lib. I further presume the iScan software will automatically be directed to the 32bit version and not the 64bit version (which should be left for 64bit apps)?
I found a 32bit libieee1284.so.3 for openSUSE 10.3 here: http://fr2.rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/opensuse/10.3/i586/libieee1284-0.2.10-107.i586.html.
Installing it gives errors:

Can both be installled at the same time? How have you solved these conflicts (if only it is "man/man3" and "test" files)?

TIA
