Hope someone out there is familiar with xsane, a scanner driver that works on Linux and on OpenSUSE.
I want to use this because it allows print pixel density, save in various sizes and modes, etc. Installed it
using Yast zypper.

Xsane website shows that it is completely compatible with Epson WP4530

Also, under permissions, says file is a link and does not have permissions.
Thanx for any assistance--doug

Just found in my Downloads directory a file called "imagescan-bundle-opensuse-15.2-3.65.0.x64.rpm.tar.gz.
Did not open the "bundle"--it's 2:48 AM and I'm going to bed. Don't know what's on it, but a quick look at
the readme file shows it may answer the questions.

Why don't you look up in the mail archive your own questions when you asked about the scanner, maybe a year or two ago? You will find there what you did the last time ;-)

I thought of that instantly. Unfortunately, I don't know how to get to that, and Firefox points to mail apps that I don't have. Does Thunderbird have access?

Looking on http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html#Z-EPSON, the WP-4530 Series is fully supported via the epson2 driver - which you probably have already installed.

I remember having to find a file that was missing from TW, and I'm not sure what it was, but I'm pretty sure the archive will tell me.

Just use yast to configure the scanner.

Yes, you may have in your desktop an icon of a link to /usr/share/applications/xsane.desktop, leave it alone.

The desktop icon points to "XSane Scanner Tool." I don't think "tool" was originally part of the name.
I think at the time when I first installed the app on OpenSUSE, I had another Linux machine with it installed already--this time I don't.

Thanx for the reply. --doug
