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,
Hi Joe, Yes, that is where I got the rpm for my AIO. (iscan-2.11.0-1.c2.i386.rpm)
but maybe this will help. http://www.avasys.jp/lx-bin2/linux_e/spc/DL2.do
No, that link is a dead avasys link.
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.
Kind of looking like it.
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.
OK, I will do that. Maybe try using the scanner as root also. Haven't tried that yet. Thanks again Joe, I'll report back after I fiddle with it for awhile. Not very familiar with udev and hotplug but I guess I'll find out. Bob S -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
