Yes, as Olaf said, the GT-2500 *might* work with the network plugin, but we haven't tried it. If we get enough feedback indicating it works, then we may update that documentation. > Anyway - flatbed scanning works fine via network.

It sounds like you are using saned for scanning over the network. We have recently found the bug that is causing ADF to be disabled in this scenario, and believe we have fixed it. A new version of iscan with this fixed should hopefully be released soon. I think there is some confusion though. There are now two ways to use scanners over the network with epkowa: 1) scanner connected via USB to a networked computer 2) scanner connected directly to the network For 1), you use saned and do NOT need the network plugin. For 2), you need the network plugin. If you connect your scanner directly to the network (you may need additional hardware to do this) and configure it as mentioned in Olaf's release announcement, you may be able to use it with the network plugin. If you are able to do this and let us know how it goes, it would be much appreciated. Thanks, Alesh -- Alesh Slovak Linux Team -- AVASYS Corporation alesh.slovak at avasys.jp http://avasys.jp
