Why my scanner did work some months ago? > The "NOT support" refers only to the epkowa backend. Support by libsane must work, I got a perfection 1670 working - however under different suse versions. Something either on the software or the hardware side must have been changed since those happy days your scanner worked. By the way, did you exclude faulty hardware positively for example by installing a complete differnt driver software such as vuescan (will support perfection 1670, tested it myself. Commercial, but the free test version will do)? You can download it from http://www.hamrick.com. If your scanner then works something with the configuration of sane must be wrong. If not you will have to screw around at your box a little, having a keen eye on all hatdware items in charge. > >>A new libsane revision will enter testing in a few days fixing this > >>problem. > >> > >>By the way, you don't need your config.sh script, hotplug takes care > >>of that for you. > >> > >>JB.
