Hi Gene, on my system I used the right vendor and product numbers so that's not my problem.
I went to http://www.buzzard.org.uk/jonathan/scanners-usb.html and under the 1250 epson he has a place to click that gets you to a page where you can download a rpm of iscan for the 1250u which I installed. In my system it doesn't work too.
