Hi, I installed Opensuse 42.2 on a computer that I finished building the other day. I am using KDE 5.8.6-7.1 as the desktop environment. I am trying to install an Epson Perfection V500 Photo Scanner that I have used for maybe 7 years on my previous desktop computer using various Opensuse versions starting with 12.something up to 42.2, with the Epson iscan installation software for this scanner. The version of this software is iscan-bundle-1.0.4.x64.rpm
But the scanner won't install on this computer using yast; here's the details.
In yast in the Scanner Configuration window, it shows the following:
Driver Scanner epkowa No scanner recognized by this driver Not Configured Epson Scanner USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON Scanner] at libusb:001:015
epkowa is the driver I use for this scanner, and is supplied by the iscan driver bundle. It has always recognized the scanner in the past. I downloaded the latest version of the iscan driver bundle from Epson and it installs all the required software to run the scanner using a shell script.
If I try to configure the scanner using Yast2, it autoselects Epson Perfection V500 Photo in the Scanner Models dialog box. I then click "Next," and a dialog box informs me "Possibly Problematic Driver The epkowa driver may cause problems on 64-bit x86_64 architecture. Selecting "Continue," Yast does it's thing, and promptly brings me back to the Scanner Configuration window with the same results as I have shown above.
What I've tried: 1. Multiple tries of reinstalling the driver software via the shell script.
2. Regressing to earlier versions of the driver software.
3. Trying the 32-bit architecture driver software .
4. Moving the USB cable on the computer from USB3 to USB2 ports
5. Disconnecting the Scanner USB cable from the USB Hub and connecting
it directly to the back of the computer, using both the USB3 and USB2 ports.
In all cases, the scanner is not recognized. As a final note, yes, the scanner power is on.
I would appreciate some help to get the scanner working.
Thanks, Mark
I don't know anything about Epson devices under Linux. But is the 'iscan driver bundle' different from this iscan package on OBS? https://software.opensuse.org/package/iscan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
