Hello Olaf, good job indeed - chapeau.
Iscan is working fine for GT-2500 on several machines Opensuse 11.0 and 11.1, 32 as well as 64 bit systems. But one question - with scanning via network the ADF function isn't available (it's greyed out in the drop down menu) - is there any way to activate it?
