The Epson scanners only work in Linux via a proprietary driver (provided in RPM format by Epkowa). I've not checked in a while, but as far as I know, they only exist in 32bit version => if your linux is 64bit, you'd have to make do with the GUI provided by the driver (usable, but not great).
If you're on a 32bit install, the driver integrates with SANE and Kooka, so it's even better.
Per, I have an Epson RX620 all-in-one printer/scanner that works well, including all the front-panel buttons. It's on a 64-bit system and integrates well with SANE etc. It uses the iscan-free package from the OSS repository and It Just Works. Some Epson scanners need the iscan package from the non-OSS repository. Check out the package descriptions in YaST or some details are somewhere in the archives of this list. And thanks especially to Johannes Meixner for his work and help! :) Cheers, Dave PS I used to have a Canon scanner which worked well but I gave it away when I discovered their approach to Linux. Pity, they make nice cameras as well. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
