I've tried 3 methods without success : (1) install Iscan via Portage & copy the other files in the .deb ; (2) copy all the files in the .deb (apart from dox) (list checked) ; (3) try to run the install.sh script. None of them succeeds in getting the scanner recognised. There is a pkg media-gfx/iscan-plugin-gt-x820 for a V600 : I could take the V550 back & exchange it for a V600 & try to install Iscan + data + that plugin. Any suggestions are very welcome. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
