Hello I have for some time been using the mentioned scanner, on my SuSE system. But having upgraded my motherboard I can't access the scanner.
On the old system it worked, though only when I connected it to an usb1.1 - Epson writes on their homepage, that it can lead to errors, connecting the scanner to a hub, and the old motherboard had only usb1.1 native, and usb2.0 through a PCI-card, which I asumed worked too much as a hub, after Epson's taste. But with the new motherboard it ought to work, but no. :-( The scanner is found and is reported both with 'product ID' and 'device ID'. Starting XSane seems OK besides 18 lines saying: '(xsane:28430): Pango-WARNING **: Invalid UTF-8 string passed to pango_layout_set_text()', but requesting a preview gives an I/O error. Having installed 'iscan' and trying to run it gives: 'Could not send command to scanner. Check the scanner's status.' I have checked my /usr/local/etc/sane.d/epson.conf and all but the line 'usb' is commented out. All ideas on how to solve this is very much welcome Sincerely -- mvh Mogens J?ger
