Darrell, Nobody has built the xsane lib for the new Gimp yet, so Xsane will not work presently because of the missing lib that Gimp 1.2.x installs from your SuSE discs. I have though gotten kooka to work ok, but I also use the IScan software for the Epson scanner provided by the Epson folks. Gimp 1.3.x sets up to use that fine from the program. Although it doesn't scan into the program directly, you can use it from the program to acquire an image.
If you plan to use xsane, then you'll have to remove Gimp 1.3.x and install 1.2.x, but if you can get the IScan software, I have it, but not sure it will work with your model. You can look here: http://www.epkowa.co.jp/english/linux_e/lsd_e.html
for the software and your model.

Thanks for the info. It appears that IScan does not yet support this

Excellent scan and print results. :-) With results this good, I can wait until Xsane catches up to Gimp before I upgrade. Thanks, Darrell Cormier
