There is a known bug on RH9 where /usr/lib/libsane.so points to the v4l SANE backend. Check if this is the case and fix it if so. To check: $ ls -l /usr/lib/libsane.so To fix (requires root permissions): # ln -fs libsane.so.1.0.9 /usr/lib/libsane.so > I've also tried iscan 1.4, but get the same result. Never mind that version. It was very much not nice in that it quietly overwrote the epson backend. > My /etc/sane.d/epkowa.conf contains: > > usb /dev/usb/scanner0 That should be fine. > My /etc/sane.d/epson.conf contains: > > usb /dev/usb/scanner0 For the record, iscan does not use the epson backend. It is *not* a proper SANE frontend in that respect. > I have tried to remove one or the other but this doesn't seem to help.
