-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello:
After looking at several scanners and rejecting those whose manufacturer's are too stupid to support Linux, I just purchased an Epson GT-8200U, based on the positive things I've read about Epson scanner support under Linux, and especially due to the efforts of Epson Kowa to bring high quality Epson scanning support to Linux. I followed the instructions at http://www.epkowa.co.jp/linux/lsd_note.html but when trying to use xsane or iscan, the scanner does its warm up, and then I get the error, "Could not send command to scanner" from iscan, or "Error during read: Invalid argument" from xsane. I did a /sbin/modprobe scanner vendor=0x04b8 product=0x0110 where the vendor and product were reported in /proc/bus/usb/devices prior to running iscan, so it should know how to communicate properly. Does anybody else here have this model and have successfully got it to scan? I'm using Red Hat 7.2, kernel 2.4.17. By the way, just in case there are hardware differences, my scanner is a Japanese model. Thanks in advance. - -----------------< codingstyle.com: What's your style? >---------------- Steve Frampton <framp...@codingstyle.com> http://www.codingstyle.com GNU Privacy Guard ID: 99F18E3A (see http://www.gnupg.org/ for details) GNU-PG Fingerprint: 244D FA2F 5EAB 6F52 41B4 8FB4 D4F4 0738 99F1 8E3A -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE9EflQ1PQHOJnxjjoRAkjeAJ4xCW2UWsMFv/ocTKcGA1/PkP8SegCgqJhK HNecemjEjZbVOTvH7MPWxnw= =kCx4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
