I do not believe that it is a kernel issue; I just mentioned the kernel to indicate that I have a standard "Etch" install - no upgrades!. I suspect it is due to some of the major rationalisations there were introduced in Etch and have not yet been taken onboard by EPSON/EPKOWA in its supplied plugins. > Can you post the exact set of messages relating to this, please? The error message - when iscan cannot find the scanner - reads: /usr/share/iscan/esfw54.bin/esfw54.bin : Not a directory This error message is valid. "esfw54.bin" is not a directory but a file and it is located in "/usr/share/iscan/" (I have placed copies in a few other places - just in case the alternatives locations can be found more easily by "iscan").
