scanner access in Suse 10

storywizard · 11-04-2005, 12:19 PM

I need to learn how to configure my epson.config file, and the back end. I have no scanner access with my Epson Stylus 5400 all in one, and have been told that a manual configuration will work. I have no idea how to do this, I have played around with linux a bit, have set up Samba between two machines...but I need some help with this one too..

Do you have "sane" installed? (sane stands for Scanner Access Now Easy). It should come by default with your SuSE. My wife's Epson 1260 scanner installed very easily on her SuSE-10.0 boot partition.

In case you are curious, web site for SANE (although you probably do not need to visit this site to set things up).

Hi storywizard,

go to Control Center > Yast > hardware > scanners. There you will find your scanner driver. Install it. That should work.

regards

You will find two drivers there :

Epson CC-600Px all in one and Epson Stylus CX 5400 all in one.

I have tried all and every driver for this problem, the situation is that YAST cannot configure the scanner, I am getting a bit of help here

but it seems quite a few folks are having scanner access problems with SUSE 10....

Hi,

have you installed kooka or sane??

I have the same problem with a Samsung SCX-4100. They provided drivers, and the appropriate files were copied into usr/lib/sane and /usr/local/lib/sane and /usr/local/bin, but when I try to configure my Scanner (from Control Center->Hardware), it isn't even in the list.
