Sorry - can't help. I have a 1650, not 1260, and don't have the transparency scanner add-on.
Do you get a recognisable picture that you could reverse in Gimp? Or
does it not woak at all? Sorry, I haven't been following the thread.
Thanks the the good input, people. The info on the Sane site seems to indicate that the 1260 is not compatible with the normal Epson driver, although that may be old. It seems to be refering to a third party sourced Epson driver, but now Epson seems to have decided to support Linux and supply drivers itself. The driver you are all using does appear to be the one from Epson, right? But this incompatibility may still be affecting the usability of the 1260 with film.
At the moment I'm thinking of forgetting the 1260 and going for the 2400 (2450 appears to no longer be a current product,) or 1660. I'll let you all know how I get on.
I would guess the epson 2400 range is the best available My epson perfection 2450 photo was bought last christmas and I can vouch for the usefulness of the driver supplied with M9.0 and M9.1.
The Windblows driver also comes with Adobe photoscan which is what makes it really useful in windows. But I can hobestly say you will probably never need it as the sane/gimp M9.1 software does just about all.
