I don't know about such a model. Up to now I only know about an "Epson Perfection 4990 Photo". > I have the 3 iscan files installed Which 3 _files_? I guess you talk about RPMs?

As an "Epson Precision 4990 Photo" is neither listed in YaST nor can be found via http://www.sane-project.org/cgi-bin/driver.pl you must have got this information from somewhere else. > I'm using 10.3 64-bit. Did you read the info about "iscan" on 64-bit hardware in YaST? For example the "Epson Perfection 4990 Photo" is shown in YaST with driver "epkowa" and the info shows "requires DFSG non-free iscan-plugin-gt-x750" and when you try to set it up in YaST, it shows this message: --------------------------------------------------------------- The package iscan should be installed but it contains proprietary binary-only i386-only software. Therefore it is only available for i386-compatible architectures and it may cause problems on AMD 64-bit (x86_64) systems. --------------------------------------------------------------- The "DFSG non-free iscan-plugin-gt-x750" is provided in the package iscan-proprietary-drivers and the RPM info is --------------------------------------------------------------- Proprietary Driver Libraries for Image Scan for Epson Scanners The proprietary binary-only i386-only libraries are provided (in object code form only) ... --------------------------------------------------------------- This means that the iscan-plugin-gt-x750 doesn't work on a plain 64-bit system - it might work if all required 32-bit libraries are installed on your 64-bit system and it should work if you install a 32-bit openSUSE on your 64-bit hardware. The plain iscan (without a iscan-plugin-*) should work o.k. on a 64-bit system if all required 32-bit libraries are installed (in particular sane-backends-32bit.rpm) but I don't know the exact details for each possible case when which of these proprietary driver stuff works or fails. Therefore I don't want to show an ultimate "this device does not work on your system" message in YaST.
