Some of you may recall that I've made the statement about never having seen the iscan gui because the compiler bails out while making it.
I've been playing the the beta 2.6 kernel releases and yesterday I built and installed the 2.6.0-mm1 version. Something in a message from Olaf at epkowa triggered me into trying to compile it again, and the compile *didn't* bail out. I'd also tried to install the rpm, but rpm ignored the --prefix= and put it all in the wrong place, so I pulled it back out and did a make install in the tarball tree. Then I re-enabled it in dll.conf and typed iscan in a cli. Instead of a can't talk to scanner message, it brought up a requester showing the plustek backend. Clicking on that got me the usual can't talk message, so a repeat, but clicking on the plustek also showed me the epkowa backend as a choice, so I selected that and clicked ok. Voila! Iscan works. I cannot print thru cups at scale with it yet, as it tiles a magazine cover over 9 sheets of paper, and the lack of the histogram displays makes it more difficult to get a proper balance, but it works. That in itself is a major step forward here. -- Cheers, Gene AMD K6-III@500mhz 320M Athlon1600XP@1400mhz 512M 99.22% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly Yahoo.com attornies please note, additions to this message by Gene Heskett are: Copyright 2003 by Maurice Eugene Heskett, all rights reserved.
