Hi! Can anyone tell me the steps that they took to get an Epson Perfection 636U up and running on SuSE 7.0? Failing that can someone tell me which backport was used in 7.0? I know that 6.4 used the 2.3.47 backport and that it posed problems for Epson scanners ( http://www.freecolormanagement.com/sane/usb_scanner.html ). I have been unable to discover which backport was used for 7.0. After a fair amount of struggle I have yet to get SANE to see my Epson Perfection 636U. My current pet theory is to suspect the usb backport patched into the stock 7.0 kernel has problems with epson scanners. I have compiled from source the 1.04 version of sane with the 20001225 epson backend which is documented as being a working configuration on the SANE site as well as the Epson backend site. I have added the scanner module with appropiate vendor IDs, created the needed devices, and modified the configuration file under sane.d as directed but still no joy. Suggestion gladly accepted.
