Thanks Joe,
Wherever did you find that URL? The repodata under jsmeix/openSUSE_10.3 I have been searching for many hours about this problem. Anyway, it answered many of my questions, but not a cure. Johannes made a list of the scanners that would not work with iscan-free and another that needed firmware. My scanner is not on either but I guess the lists could be too old.
No, it is not old. You have an all-in-one. There are drivers for those at the left of the link above, but maybe this will help. http://www.avasys.jp/lx-bin2/linux_e/spc/DL2.do The y do have 32 bit drivers for that AIO. As I thought, they are old drivers (2006), so they may not work without some fiddling, especially with udev.
The scanner I am trying to set up is an Epson Stylus CX9400F. It is an all-in-one. I downloaded the Iscan package for this specific scanner from Avasys. Guess it's time to harass Epson. Or, maybe I got a defective brand-new scanner?
The "hotplug" mechanism has changed a lot since 2006. I assume you have chosen the epkowa backend. I would check /var/log/messages when you plug it in. You would probably need a udev rule to assign the proper permissions for it to work as a user.
Again thanks anyway. If you come up with any new ideas please yell. Wish Johannes would pick up this thread.

BTW did you know that all of those Iscan packages are on the 10.3 disk?
Pin tells me the iscan-firmware is, but not the others. I believe Johannes package would work better for an x86_64 machine, but I am not sure.
