  You shouldn't have to log on to report anything.  Just confirmed your
  observation.  I get the same myself.  I'll forward that to our support

 I've been told this has been fixed now.  Your submission did get into

 Hope this helps,

I am following up on this on the Novell bug[1], no need to duplicate
that here.  Those interested can add themselves to the bug's Cc:

Thanks for the above. I now have a working version of Iscan with one problem.

I down loaded the tar.gz file and tried to compile it. But it ran into two 
dependences, whose files are not available on the opensuse repositories or 
webpin for openSUSE 11.0. I also downloaded the rpm package 
2.14.0-3.c2.i386.rpm from your website. It installed with YaST and runs. The 
defaust scan is a .png and scanning to file works with no problem. Scanning to 
printer now works but it will not print in color. My lpr command is:
  lpr -P Phaser_6120. if I put the -c in for color I get an error that cups no 
longer supports the -c option. This all used to work before my upgrade to KDE 
4.1.3, and a new 64 bit system. Is there a package like the propriatory driver 
or firmware I need to install. Under the 2.10 version was.

I will update the Novell bug later on this morning, time for some breakfast.

Oh my version of cups is:  
cups-client-1.3.7-25.4
cups-libs-32bit-1.3.7-25.4
cups-autoconfig-0.1.0-113.1
cups-1.3.7-25.4
cups-devel-1.3.7-25.4
cups-libs-1.3.7-25.4
cups-drivers-1.3.6-32.1
libgnomecups-0.2.3-63.1

Again thanks for all your help!!

   Using Iscan version Epkowa driver from AVASYA. OpenSUSE 11.0. Ran

   iscan-2.10.0.1-21.1 iscan-firmware-2.8.0.1-48.1

 You don't mention the iscan version you use, but I am assuming you are
 using a self-built version of 2.12.0 or later.  The following is based
 on that assumption.
 No 2,12 is 2.10 as below. I can download 2.12 and compile it. See if that 
 corrects problem.

Please download iscan-2.14.0-3.tar.gz.  Select any of the models
listed at

  http://avasys.jp/hp/page01300/hpg01239.htm

to get to a page that lets you download that version.

  [snip]
  The problem appears to be Iscan looking for libpng0.so shared object
  file: error message: terminate called after throwing an instance of
  'std::runtime_error'
what():  libpng.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
  directory
 
  there are two references to libpng.so:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 2008-11-13 10:18 /usr/lib64/libpng.so -
  libpng12.so
 
   -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 21522 2008-10-07 08:13
  /usr/lib64/compiz/libpng.so
 
  Not sure if this is a SUSE problem or Iscan. Should the libpng.so link to
  libpng12.so?

 It's a problem with both really.  You can work around this by running
 iscan from the command-line as follows:

   LTDL_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib64 iscan
 using this command starts iscan, selecting scan to printer still shows
 .png and .tiff greyed out. cliclking scan gives following error:

   finemanruss at linux-f836:/usr/lib64 ltdl_library_path=/usr/lib64 iscan
 terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
   what():  /usr/lib64/libpng12.so.0: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
 Aborted

So it seems that you are running a 32-bit version of the package.  In
that case I suspect that you do not have the 32-bit versions of the
PNG (and JPEG) libraries installed.  You should have libpng-32bit or
some similarly named package installed.  Same for JPEG.

 I just reported to Novell bugzilla (459215).

Thanks, but I think that your report will be somewhat confusing.  For
one thing, it's not clear what version of whose package you are using.

 Also tried to enter it on
 https://www.avasys.jp/secure/english/linux_e/support_form.html but I
 get a list of apache and java errors. says cannot contact server. Do
 I need to log on some where to report this?

  but if the problem is with any of the SUSE provides packages please
  report it with SUSE.
 
   I can scan to a file just fine (Epson CX6600) but try as I can to
   scan to a printer and Iscan just closes down.
 
  What do you mean with just closes down?
 
  GUI interface just disappears (closes) from the screen.

 That's a bug.

  Can you scan to PNG file?  If yes, change the print command (Click the
  Configuration button) to
 
cat  `date +%Y-%m-%d`.png
 
  No if I scan to file, and try to select PNG or TIFF they are greyed out.
  I can only select PNM or JPEG. See Below.

 Allright.  No PNG support.  That means you can't print because that
 relies on an intermediate PNG file.  You shouldn't have been able to
 even select scanning to printer in that case.
I can select scan to printer but GUI diseapears as above and get the error 
message.

 If you file a bug report with SUSE, let me know (so I can follow it
 and don't have to do it myself).  You should probably file it against
 the glibc package.

 Hope this helps,

Just down loaded the 2.14 package from your web site. The packages I'm using 
were fronm the opensuse repository. Sorry I was confused, since it said 
proprietory package I assumed it was provide by AVASYS. 

I'll install the package and deinstall what I have first. I post results.

Thanks for the continuing help.
