I don't know about such a model. Up to now I only know about an "Epson Perfection 4990 Photo".
I have the 3 iscan files installed
Which 3 _files_? I guess you talk about RPMs? If yes, which exact RPM package names?
which are supposed to provide FULL function for this scanner,
From where do you have this information? As an "Epson Precision 4990 Photo" is neither listed in YaST nor can be found via http://www.sane-project.org/cgi-bin/driver.pl you must have got this information from somewhere else.
I'm using 10.3 64-bit.
Did you read the info about "iscan" on 64-bit hardware in YaST? For example the "Epson Perfection 4990 Photo" is shown in YaST with driver "epkowa" and the info shows "requires DFSG non-free iscan-plugin-gt-x750" and when you try to set it up in YaST, it shows this message: --------------------------------------------------------------- The package iscan should be installed but it contains proprietary binary-only i386-only software. Therefore it is only available for i386-compatible architectures and it may cause problems on AMD 64-bit (x86_64) systems. --------------------------------------------------------------- The "DFSG non-free iscan-plugin-gt-x750" is provided in the package iscan-proprietary-drivers and the RPM info is --------------------------------------------------------------- Proprietary Driver Libraries for Image Scan for Epson Scanners The proprietary binary-only i386-only libraries are provided (in object code form only) ... --------------------------------------------------------------- This means that the iscan-plugin-gt-x750 doesn't work on a plain 64-bit system - it might work if all required 32-bit libraries are installed on your 64-bit system and it should work if you install a 32-bit openSUSE on your 64-bit hardware. The plain iscan (without a iscan-plugin-*) should work o.k. on a 64-bit system if all required 32-bit libraries are installed (in particular sane-backends-32bit.rpm) but I don't know the exact details for each possible case when which of these proprietary driver stuff works or fails. Therefore I don't want to show an ultimate "this device does not work on your system" message in YaST.
