You need to install iscan-plugin-perfections-v370 too. See the README.rst file that came with the bundle. # It's included for a reason ;-) > I used YaST/scanner to configure the scanner.

If still you cannot get scanimage to work *after installing the plugin package*, then provide the output of SANE_DEBUG_EPKOWA=HEX scanimage >/dev/null to the list. > I have successfully got the scanner to work under MS-Windows, so the > hardware is fine.
