Hi, I'm trying to use an Epson Perfection 4490 Photo under Debian etch (testing). It's supposedly fully supported by the epkowa backend. This is what I did so far:
- installed Debian's sane, sane-utils and libsane-extras packages (the last one contains the epkowa backend) - downloaded iscan-2.0.0-0.c2.tar.gz from www.avasys.jp, for the binary-only component not distributed by Debian - copied the binary-only component libesmod.so to /usr/lib/epkowa/, in accordance to the instructions given in /usr/share/doc/libsane-extras/README.Debian - removed "epson" from /etc/sane/dll.conf (also following the same instructions) and made sure epkowa was enabled The result? sane-find-scanner detects the scanner fine, but scanimage -L does not. Adding "usb 0x04b8 0x0119" to /etc/epkowa.conf makes scanimage -L *claim* to find the scanner, (device `epkowa:libusb:001:002' is a Epson flatbed scanner) but scanning does not work. (scanimage: sane_start: Invalid argument) So, where did I go wrong? Any ideas? Some ideas of my own: The instructions in /usr/share/doc/libsane-extras/README.Debian says that one should make sure to use a matching version of the binary component. That would be version 1.16.0-3, according to /usr/share/doc/libsane-extras/copyright. But www.avasys.jp will only let me download version 2.0.0. Are older versions available somewhere? However, I doubt this is the only problem, because strace reveals that scanimage does not look in /usr/lib/epkowa/ at all, and that can't be right. Thanks for reading. :) -- Fredrik Sandstr?m [email protected]
