Thank you - the package I found there seems to work fine - very grateful. > Basically I switched the backend form epson2 to epkowa, which comes > with the package form the Epson download site.

However, I can't find any evidence that a new SANE backend called epkowa is being used - instead it seems to use something at /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-imagescan.so.1, despite the fact that /etc/sane.d/dll.conf doesn't contain any line enabling that backend. So I don't entirely understand why it works, but I'm glad that it does ! > I didn't try it with xsane, but you should be good to go. Thank you - it works fine with xsane also.
