Hi folks; I *did* have the epson iscan, version 1.4.0 working as a backend before a power failure, human induced 8-[, trashed my / partition. I pulled the wrong power cord while shutting this room down for 2 weeks, intending to leave the computer running as it has about a 2 week supply of seti@home work units with 100 in the cache.
So I had to fdisk the drive, re-arranging things, and moving some dirs to new partitions on an even bigger drive. I re-installed rh8.0 which wouldn't let me do the partitions the way I wanted, so I did that after the fact. Then I found that my carefully done amanda backups weren't complete, apparently missing anything that had even an odor of an old lock on it. The tar version is 1.13-25. I've never been able to fully compile the epson iscan package, the frontend always dies while looking for some obscure __cxx_XXXXX set of files that still aren't on my system even after I'd told it to install everything. But it does compile the libraries first, so they are installable, and thats what I've been doing for at least a year. In this manner I was getting a requestor at startup from xsane that asks me which backend I want to use and I can run the plustek backend or the epson backend. GT-something or other. Is anyone else doing this with an epson 1250u? And if so, can you snip and post here the revelant parts of your /usr/local/etc/sane.d/epson.conf file? Mine doesn't look right, and I can't seem to make it work again. Many thanks in advance. -- Cheers, Gene AMD K6-III@500mhz 320M Athlon1600XP@1400mhz 512M 99.19% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly
