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.
I know that this is one of those "But it works for me" posts :-) but I have the Epson Perfection V550 Photo and I had no hassles in installing it in Leap 42.2. This may not help but try two things: remove the iscan/epkowa driver and re-install; but after installation switch off the computer, let it stand for a minute or so then reboot. I had trouble with another app. which I had just installed but it was nowhere to be seen -- until I rebooted the desktop after which its icon appeared and the app. worked. As I said, just a thought which may work... (BTW, isn't there something in the instructions about how to install the Epson where you install the driver first and _before_ switching the scanner on? relying on memory here so probably wrong in what I just said.)
