Epson Perfection V350
MoonChild
i have a scanner Epson Perfection V350 that not works
under gentoo linux; it had worked good with a old 32 bit
version of iscan package. Now with a 64 bit system and
a the new iscan package it not works anymore.
I do not know if it depends on new drivers or do not
works because the system is it now 64 bit.
- start xsane
- the scanner louds
- after 20 seconds asks me for the device
Epson (unknown model) table scanner [epkowa:usb:002:003]
- i select it and the scanner louds
- after 1 minute it appears a message box with the error
"Invalid argument"
(sometimes XSane crashes only).
I have changed pc too, reinstalled the gentoo but the
problem persists. The strage thing is it that i do not
found nothing about in google.
I have tried with different versions of iscan package,
with the sources downloaded from the driver's website,
i have tried also the debian packages converted with
alien: the result is it everytime the same.
Actually i have the iscan version 2.21.0
I would want post some output, but the application do
not provides maybe.
The pc is it a core i7 with X58 chipset (driver usb uhci)
but, with the old athlon xp was the same thing.
If someone have this scanner and can help me i appreciate
so much, i do not know what to do...
Thanks to all for the attention.

I got my Epson Perfection 3490 to work in 64 bit Ubuntu and Fedora by
using the binary blob (windows driver).For the 3490 it was the file
esfw52.bin.Put it in /usr/share/sane,add the line "firmware /usr/share/
sane/esfw52.bin" into /etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf and it works fine.I never
could get the iscan drivers working in 64 bit.

i did in order to help if someone needs.
The first thing to do is it complie and install
the iscan package (from source, gentoo package,
etc.).
Then download this file from
http://avasys.jp/eng/linux_driver/
(under scanner driver. etc...)
iscan-plugin-gt-f700-2.1.0-3.c2.x86_64.rpm
(it exists the related 32 bit version too, not
tested)
use alien and convert it to tgz
unpack it
move all libesint68.so files under /usr/lib/esci
move esfw68.bin under /usr/share/esci
do the following command (exactly as I write
without add any extension to libraries)
iscan-registry --add interpreter usb 0x04b8 0x012f /usr/lib/esci/
libesint68 /usr/share/esci/esfw68.bin
DO NOT change /etc/sane.d/epkowa.conf, DO NOT ADD the
"usb 0x04b8 0x012f" at all
For me this procedure worked fine.
Sorry for the english.

I think this is key. I'm no guru, but doesn't compiling a package
against the kernel and libs which exist in your distro make a big
difference. I use slackware and compiled the proper iscan package and
also had no probs with the iscan binaries, though slack uses snapscan.
Q for slackers: Is this a correct assumption? Is this why the iscan
software package does not exist as a slack pkg and must be compiled?
