Very unlikely : I have an HP printer, which also copies & can scan, but it isn't supported by Sane-backends & would require much work. I plan to audit what I've installed carefully today & if I still can't get it to work on Gentoo, I'll file a bug : hopefully, whoever created the plugin for V600 can do another for V550. Also, I'll put the Epson install script on my Internet site ( http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/~purslow/test/ ). I can't make sense of it, but perhaps someone here can tell me what it does with the .deb files when it installs them. If it works on Mint, it sb possible to get it to work on Gentoo. Usually in such cases, the secret is finding 1 small item which needs to be fixed & then everything is ok : that's Gentoo's strength. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
