http://www.sane-project.org/sane-backends.html I do not think so. I bought Epson 33/330 and I've been using it with the Epsons iscan tool (v.2.30) over 3y now. It works great for me. It states however that it can be used by sane as well. This might be of interest (I think it depends on what model you buy) Epson_33_-_330/iscan-2.30.1/README OPERATION ========= The software can always be started with the 'iscan' command from the command line or your desktop's "command runner" utility. You may also find it in your desktop menu in the "Graphics" section. PRINTING -------- Scanning "directly" to a printer, by default, sends the image data to your system's default printer using the 'lpr' command. You can modify the command used to print via the "Configuration" button. GIMP PLUG-IN ------------ The software can also be used as a GIMP plug-in to acquire images directly from the GIMP. After installation of a binary package, the plug-in is (normally) automatically registered and available from the "File" -> "Acquire" or the "File" -> "Create" menu. The exact menu entries may depend on your language settings and GIMP version. OTHER SANE FRONTENDS -------------------- If you prefer using another SANE frontend, you can use the device driver included with this software by selecting a device with the "epkowa:" substring in its device name. NETWORK SCANNING ---------------- Scanning directly via a device's network interface is supported with the help of the non-free 'iscan-network-nt' package. Once this package has been installed you need to tell the 'epkowa' backend what network devices it should try to access. The details of how you do this can be found in the 'epkowa.conf' file. This file is included in the sources and typically installed as '/etc/sane.d/epkowa.conf'. Notes: 1. 'iscan' does not support setting the IP address of the device itself. Please consult the device manual for instructions on how to do this. 2. The download site only lists the iscan-network-nt module for the devices that are known to work with it. 3. For network scanning via a server connected device please see the user manual.
