Olaf, I will give the Epkowa backend a try next (on a side note the URL in the sane documentation is 404)

This is the same version I have on the 'working' PC. -pete On Mon, May 30, 2011 at 5:13 PM, Olaf Meeuwissen <olaf.meeuwissen at avasys.jp> wrote: > Pete Lancashire <pete at petelancashire.com> writes: > >> CSI, Epson GT-30000 backend epson.
