However am pretty sure its not re-engineered as almost every help discussion
on this scanner refers to downloading the said from AVASYS's website

Ram
Have you tried reporting this to Epson. It might be that that .deb
file was a reverse engineered or community developed one and not
approved by Epson. It might have then been pulled out.
Just a guess. Otherwise .deb files just cant disappear like that with
so many distro's using deb.

the adf is an additional 17 k (haven't got that though)

however the combination of features on the epson 4490 make it
unbeatable there is no scanner - atleast a the time we bought it 3
years back that had this set of features and which was supposed to
work on Linux (the last part has not yet happened though)

Thanks. At 17K definitely not. A few more K and I can have my DSLR.

But the ADF is cool. For someone who does a lot, to kill for at that price.

It works well under windows (having used it for pictures, film
negatives, film positives ) and Mac, and is supposed to work under
Ubuntu as well.

It cost about 17 K - it also has an option for an ADF (again unique in
its range of activities)

As a solution for a replacement for a DSLR - no its not worth it - if
you add the cost of film and processing + time + turn around time for
processing then its *definitely* not worth it.

However to convert legacy stuff and as a general high quality scanner
it is worth it, and if one can invest in the adf then wow (the adf
costs as much as the scanner)

The reason i am asking is, i have a Film SLR that i am not using, because of
the cost of film+developing+printing factor when compared to a DSLR (which i
cant afford ATM). I know a DSLR is a long term solution and a scanner cant
be, but an idea.

Sorry once gain for the OT.

Have no solution to offer as you seem to have tried all options, but just a

Do you use it to scan a lot of Slides/negatives.
