I have just purchased an Epson Stylus CX5200. SuSE recognizes everything fine and the scan test in the USB scanner setup returns a nice b/w scan. However, I installed the scanner last evening and then when I restarted my workstation this morning I had to re-do the scanner setup. Also, I cannot get Kooka to work with the scanner, and I have an error in xsane for which I need more info. In kooka it sees the scanner but then when I attempt to do a preview scan or final scan, nothing happens. kooka --version reveals the following: ~> kooka --version Qt: 3.1.1 KDE: 3.1.1 Kooka: 0.40 Anyone had any experience with this scanner or had any similar problems with Kooka? Now with xsane I get the following error: ~> xsane xsane: error while loading shared libraries: libgimpui-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I have read that this lib was packaged with gimp 1.2, however, I have just installed the ULB packages for gimp which are version 1.3.19. Is there a way around this? Do I need a newer version of xsane? If so is this available via SuSE ftp (I did not find one)? Any information on this subject will be greatly appreciated. TIA, Darrell Cormier p.s. The printer portion works great. No problems (and quite nice I might add).

Darrell, Nobody has built the xsane lib for the new Gimp yet, so Xsane will not work presently because of the missing lib that Gimp 1.2.x installs from your SuSE discs. I have though gotten kooka to work ok, but I also use the IScan software for the Epson scanner provided by the Epson folks. Gimp 1.3.x sets up to use that fine from the program. Although it doesn't scan into the program directly, you can use it from the program to acquire an image. If you plan to use xsane, then you'll have to remove Gimp 1.3.x and install 1.2.x, but if you can get the IScan software, I have it, but not sure it will work with your model. You can look here: http://www.epkowa.co.jp/english/linux_e/lsd_e.html for the software and your model.

Thanks for the info. It appears that IScan does not yet support this

Excellent scan and print results. :-) With results this good, I can wait until Xsane catches up to Gimp before I upgrade. Thanks, Darrell Cormier
