Hi Valerio,
Looks like your device is more defective than your english :-/
but in Microsoft it works well...
So it's not a hardware issue, probably, but I'm slightly suspicious
because of what you wrote in
https://alioth-lists.debian.net/pipermail/sane-devel/2020-January/037488.html
Was that talking about the scanner working on Windows for a little less
than three minutes? If so, it may be a hardware problem after all.
i was told that it worked fine...
Anyway, the issue with iscan-data's post-install script is device
independent so that remains to be fixed. In the mean time though, I've
noticed that iscan-data also includes a /lib/udev/hwdb.d/iscan-data.hwdb
that has an entry for the Perfection V10.
Based on what I see on a Devuan beowulf setup (basically Debian buster
w/o systemd), that ought to be enough to make the device usable for a
logged in user.
and then, what can I do?
Wait until EPSON updates the iscan-data post-install script to work with
*current* distributions?
i think the Epson doesn't work on a model so old...
You may be right. After all, making old models work again isn't going
to sell any new devices. So if a manufacturer's business model is based
on selling hardware, then the user is at the losing end. Even more so
if that user bought hardware that requires non-free software.
Sorry this doesn't help,
thank you anyway
