Getting an Epson Perfection 1260 Photo scanner to work with Mandriva


Does anyone know whether the latest edition of Mandriva is able to recognize the Epson Perfection 1260 Photo scanner?

If not, how would I go about getting it to?

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried using the scanner config tool in the Mandriva Control Centre (Configure your computer) > Hardware?

According to this page it uses the sane-plustek driver:

I have exactly the same scanner (Epson Perfection 1260 Photo) and I want to get it working on Debian 5.

I have the following assortment of applications downloaded in case one or other of any fail to work, but am not sure what I do next.

Sane and Xsane packages are installed on my setup.

/home/Desktop/Documents/iscan_2.10.0-1.tar.gz

/home/Desktop/Documents/iscan_2.18.0-2.tar.gz

/home/Desktop/Documents/iscan-2.10.0-1.c2.i386.rpm

/home/Desktop/Documents/iscan-2.10.0-1.i386.rpm

/home/Desktop/Documents/iscan-plugin-gt-7300-1.0.0-1.c2.i386.rpm

/home/Desktop/Documents/linux-image-2.6-486_2.6.26+17_i386.deb

/home/Desktop/Documents/sane-backends-1.0.19.tar.gz

/home/Desktop/Documents/plustek-usb-0.52-3.tar.gz

Any advices would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

Sadly, this is a Mandriva forum. There may be differences between Mandriva and Debian. You will be best served to post this issue on a Debian forum where it will have a greater likelihood of being viewed by soneone well versed in Debian configuration and utilities.

HTH,
