Hello list I have for some years now used my Epson Perfection 2450 Photo (or - GT9700F) scanner without any problems, on my Linux 64 bit machine.
But since I upgraded to the new Suse 11.3 (sane-backends 1.0.21), the scanner does not work. No matter if I use the old (=no longer maintained?) 'epson' or the newer 'epson2' drivers. I tried to use the driver from package 'iscan-free' - no help. The scanner gets recognized by setup, but at use, different types of errors, mostly Xsane just terminates. I started to go backwards in 'history', and when I reached sane-backends 1.0.19-99, it works again. Why this - is it a bug, and where/how to go on? Thanks in advance. Mogens J?ger
