The backend in IScan is a heavily modified 1.0.5 version of the EPSON backends. Some of the changes in the official backend went into the IScan backend, but it's based on a fairly old version. > > No. Thats for driving the USB based 1250u and 1260u, and possibly one > or 2 others. I use it here, albeit in a roundabout way. the The IScan backend supports pretty much all EPSON scanners (with the exception of the Perfection 660, which is a new scanner only sold in Europe, and the Perfection 600, which is supported by one of the other Sane backends).

That's a pretty wild guess... The official EPSON backend supports all EPSON scanners with the exception of the Perfection 600/650/1250/1260. Some of the older par-port scanners may also not work, but at least their command language is supported :-) Karl Heinz
