A new version of "Image Scan! for Linux" will be released on January 21, 2003 to add support for the GT-9800F (a.k.a. Perfection 3200 PHOTO). This package contains a GUI frontend and a modified version of the SANE epson backend (originally based on 1.0.3, later updated to 1.0.6). It also includes a proprietary module that is only used with EPSON scanners, but I believe "Image Scan! for Linux" is usable with other scanners. It's just that the results may not be as good as they probably could be. # If anyone has "successfully" used "Image Scan! for Linux" with other # scanners, please drop me a note. Two other proprietary modules are used to interface with the GT-7200U and GT-7300U (a.k.a. Perfection 1250/Perfection 1250 PHOTO and Perfection 1260/ Perfection 1260 PHOTO). For a full list of supported scanners, see: http://www.epkowa.co.jp/english/linux_e/lsd_e.html Oh, what the heck! Here is the cut-and-paste: * Perfection 610/Perfection 640U/Perfection 1200S, 1200U, 1200U PHOTO/Perfection 1240U/ Perfection 1250, 1250 PHOTO/Perfection 1260, 1260 PHOTO/Perfection 1640SU, 1640SU PHOTO/Perfection 1650/Perfection 1650 PHOTO/Perfection 1660 PHOTO/Perfection 2400 PHOTO/Perfection 2450 PHOTO/ Expression 1600/ Expression 1680/ Expression 1640XL/GT-10000,10000+/GT-30000 Note: installing "Image Scan! for Linux" will clobber (at least the symlinks to) the epson backend from sane-backends. -- Olaf Meeuwissen EPSON KOWA Corporation, ECS GnuPG key: 6BE37D90/AB6B 0D1F 99E7 1BF5 EB97 976A 16C7 F27D 6BE3 7D90 Penguin's lib! -- I hack, therefore I am -- LPIC-2
