Hi! After getting Epson Stylus Photo RX600 working, mentioned that there is only the RX500 shown as unsupported?
Had some problems getting Linux to probably recognize the all-in-one USB2 device (Kernel 2.6.7), patching/recompiling with bk15 solved problems. 2.4.x might give better results out of the box. Now what I get from cat /proc/bus/usb/devices concerning the device: T: Bus=01 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=03 Cnt=01 Dev#= 13 Spd=480 MxCh= 0 D: Ver= 2.00 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS=64 #Cfgs= 1 P: Vendor=04b8 ProdID=0806 Rev= 1.00 S: Manufacturer=EPSON S: Product=USB2.0 MFP(Hi-Speed) S: SerialNumber=L70010403091343100 C:* #Ifs= 3 Cfg#= 1 Atr=c0 MxPwr= 2mA I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=ff(vend.)

(scanner-restart.sh is my own script, due to remaining problems with hotplug.) It is using the sane-libs that came with iscan, haven't tested if the sane provided epson works: http://www.epkowa.co.jp/english/linux_e/index.html According to the rpm: License: GPL (with exception clause)/EK) /usr/lib/sane/libsane-epkowa.so* The following is installed, scanning through the net works in addition, the transparency unit works, but I haven't done much tests with it. sane-backends-1.0.14-1 xsane-gimp-0.91-1 sane-frontends-1.0.12-1 sane-backends-devel-1.0.14-1 iscan-1.9.0-5 Now scanning works like a charm, much faster then through my USB 1 Epson scanner.;) Thx and keep the great work!
