[...] After some searching I found this site. I followed the instructions: I downloaded the iscan RPMs and converted them to DEB with alien. After installing the DEBs the scanner works! I had to remove libsane-extras though. That conflicts with the generated DEB files. [...]

I created a usb group for my devices so that I didn’t have to be ‘root’. This is what I did on Dapper.

1) sudo addgroup –system usb

2) Add your user to the usb group.

3) Edit /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules

Here is the original line:
SUBSYSTEM==”usb_device”, MODE=”0664″

Here is the updated line:
SUBSYSTEM==”usb_device”, MODE=”0664″, GROUP=”usb”

You must add the line ‘epkowa’ to /etc/sane.d/dll.conf

Works for me, but I must do
$ sudo iscan

in order to get it to work.

I have an AMD64 processor. Any advice? Or am I just S.O.L. for now.

I gave the link I did because it was the direct link to the files — I must’ve had some kind of session set up from filling in the form. I’ve corrected the link, thanks.

I didn’t have any of the later problems you mention, it pretty much just worked for me.

1) add an
epkowa
entry to dll.conf

2) fiddling around with epkowa.conf to register the device

the situation is the following:

Device IS listed when i run sane-find-scanner
(found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x012d [EPSON Scanner]) at libusb:001:002)

now the device is recognised but still not possible to scan…

before you should install alien:

“sudo apt-get install alien”

then the link to the iscan packages are broken, this one seems oki:

http://www.avasys.jp/english/linux_e/dl_scan.html

I choose “erpson v100 photo” and debian package, then downloaded iscan-2.3.0-1.c2.i386.rpm iscan-plugin-gt-s600-2.0.0-1.c2.i386.rpm

then the following commands were not working

“sudo apt-get install iscan_2.3.0-1_i386.deb”
“sudo apt-get install iscan-plugin-gt-s600_2.0.0-2_i386.deb”

I had to do:

“dpkg -i iscan_2.3.0-1_i386.deb”
“dpkg -i iscan-plugin-gt-s600_2.0.0-2_i386.deb”

but at the end “sane-find-scanner” find “found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x012d [EPSON Scanner]) at libusb:005:004″

…and scanimage scanimage: no SANE devices found…

So it is the same as before the installation
