epjitsu.conf.in explains that the driver needs a firmware called '*.nal', often in a cab file. I didn't found such a file (even in cab files). However, I found a 'Esfw66.bin' in a cab. The size is ok (64Kio), the path too (ProgramFiles/epson/escndv/es0066). ES66 seems to be a codename for the scanner. For example, the file es66.inf has: ES66.DeviceDesc = "EPSON Perfection V10/V100" or %ES66.DeviceDesc% = USB.ES66,USB\VID_04B8&PID_012D (Those VID and PID match the Vendor_ID and Product_ID of the Perfection V100Photo.) I don't know if it's useful but `file` doesn't recognize the file type. If I edit 'Esfw66.bin' in hexadecimal mode, the first line is: 00000000: 4544 4c41 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 EDLA............ The others cab in es0066 directory have a lot of .dll files, .icm files, another .bin file (only 3Kio), 'Version.dat', two .chm files. There are files I don't know in 'perv100.cab' but I think they are not as interesting as 'Esfw66.bin': stephane at degtyarov:/tmp/epson cab/perv100 $ ls -lh total 512K -rw-r--r-- 1 stephane stephane 5,0K ao?t 29 2006 ES0066.hrd -rw-r--r-- 1 stephane stephane 238 d?c. 1 2005 ES0066.idx -rw-r--r-- 1 stephane stephane 96K oct. 16 2006 PerV100.ds (and two .icm files) -- St?phane
