A related topic - I hope. I have used an Epson 4490 scanner (+ iscan) successfully in a Debian Sarge environment. When I upgraded to Debian Etch, the Epson-supplied versions of iscan + proprietary plugin - /iscan-plugin-gt-x750-1.0.0-1.i386.rpm - started to balk. iscan now sends the following error message: /usr/share/iscan/esfw54.bin/esfw54.bin: Not a directory which is true. There is a file - /usr/share/iscan/esfw54.bin; the directory (?) does not exist. Despite this error, I have - by coaxing and massage - managed to persuade Etch to recognise the scanner. The posting from Florian Kulzer inspired me to revisit the Avasys site. I found that both iscan and the iscan plugin have been updated. The new plugin reads: /iscan-plugin-gt-x750-1.0.0-1.c2.i386.rpm Does any Debian Etch user have experience with this updated version of the plugin (and with the updated version of iscan [2.10.0-1.c2])? I do not wish to replace something that works badly in Etch with something that does not work all.

libsane-extras: epson perfection 4490 PHOTO doesn't work on amd64
Hello, After making sure that the epson 4490 photo is supported by linux (debian package libsane-extras, epkowa backend) I bought this fine scanner. Works like a charm on ... you know ;) But on my debian lenny tp61 (Linux haktar 2.6.22.5gru #4 SMP Sun Nov 18 17:58:05 CET 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux) with 64 bit linux, I can't get the scanner to work. I followed the instructions in /usr/share/doc/libsane-extras/README.Debian, added myself to the scanner group and tried scanimage -L, but the scanner didn't appear. lsusb shows the scanner: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/lib$ lsusb | grep -i epson Bus 002 Device 003: ID 04b8:0119 Seiko Epson Corp. Perfection 4490 Photo lshal shows something about the scanner, too, mainly that the device is located at /dev/bus/usb/002/003 I straced scanimage but didn't find anything special. Maybe I overlook something. All I see is that the firmware, located in /usr/share/iscan/esfw54.bin isn't touched. Hmm I tried installing the packages from http://www.avasys.jp/english/linux_e/dl_scan.html without success. I tried to compile the sources, but the frontend will compile only for IA32. As you can imagine, google didn't help me, neither. So I am out of ideas and have to double boot for the first time since almost 4 years. Have to get used to windows again :( I hope that you can help me -- Markus Grunwald Registered Linux User Nr 101577 gpg/pgp fingerprint: 7E01F5FE15CEDD0A http://counter.li.org(gpg --recv-keys 7E01F5FE15CEDD0A) icq 314331831 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
