Hi there, > Perhaps Xsane does not set the focus distance correctly...
I tried reinstalling the redhat 3.2.x gcc experimental version tonite. It installs, but soon as I try to scan it segfaults... > I installed the latest version of gcc 2.96 from freshrpm's last night, > and then tried to install the 2.96 version of Iscan.

Iscan was developed on a box running Redhat 7.2, which looking at it is a quite 'old' distro now. That is several point updates of kernel behind the current, and also several point updates of gcc behind current stable. > Oh, I wish the guys from Xsane and the guys from Iscan would start > talking to each other! Epson would be better to release a totally proprietary Linux driver with the scanners...that way they do not need to rely on sane providing access to the scanner, which is where I believe the whole process turns to runny poo...
