Sorry, you need 2.9.0 (as mentioned in my other follow-up).

Hope this helps,

2008-04-23 Thread Garry B
I am running OpenSuse 10.3  can't get an Epson scanner to work.
The scanner is an Epson CX5500 multi-function. I had lots of fun
getting the printer to work but eventually found an Epson scx4450
driver  it works nicely.

Sane doesn't seem to recognise the product ID. Is there something I
can do? Thanks in advance.

I'm surprised you didn't find:

  http://www.avasys.jp/lx-bin2/linux_e/spc/DL1.do

although I admit it's a little bit hidden in the forest of model
names.  Use your browser's find!

  Stylus CX4300/CX4400/CX4450/CX5500/CX5600/DX4400/DX4450

The Epson Stylus CX5500 is supported as of iscan-2.9.0.

We haven't tested on OpenSuse 10.3, IIRC, but I believe 10.2 was okay.

Hope this helps,
