Hello,

interested in the Epson V330. This scanner is unsupported by XSane, but Epson has a driver for it. It also has a GUI for this driver, but this GUI is said to support only black and white scanning. My question is if I install this driver, will XSane be able to see it and make use of it?
According to http://www.sane-project.org/cgi-bin/driver.pl?manu=epson&model=v330 it seems you ask about the third-party driver "epkowa" from Avasys: http://avasys.jp/eng/linux_driver/
Please ask those who make the third-party driver because only those who make the driver could provide reliable information.
The responsibility of the drivers previously available from Avasys has been transferred to Epson.
If you go to the above URL you will see the notice re this.
And if you want to download the driver(s) for Epson from Epson be prepared to go thru hoops :-) . Advisable to have a mug of coffee on hand and some spare time :-) .

Yesterday I downloaded from Epson the epkowa file, as well as the iscan and iscan-data files (the front end). The V330 is indeed in the Avasys list of scanners supported by epkowa. The remaining question was whether XScan will work with epkowa, which I conclude from your experience with the V300 is the case. I found the Avasys site much more hoop-jumping than the Epson; it is also much more informative. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
