This scanner will neither work with the snapscan backend nor the epson backend. Support is _planned_ for the epkowa backend. You have the following options: use VueScan (http://www.hamrick.com/, Linux version available) use Windows use MacOS X or if you insist on free software: get another (Unix/Linux supported) scanner. FYI, the 4490 is not related to the other EPSON scanners supported by the snapscan backend and does not speak the ESC/I protocol. The epson backend only works for scanners that speak ESC/I. You can find the latest iscan via: http://www.avasys.jp/english/linux_e/ Hope this helps, -- Olaf Meeuwissen EPSON AVASYS Corporation, LAN FSF Associate Member #1962 sign up at http://member.fsf.org/ GnuPG key: 6BE37D90/AB6B 0D1F 99E7 1BF5 EB97 976A 16C7 F27D 6BE3 7D90 Penguin's lib! -- I hack, therefore I am -- LPIC-2
