alt-f2 -- type 'kdesudo kate' (no quotes) -- enter password -- Kate will open with sudo privileges, so you can browse to the file and edit as neededOriginally posted by harlanwolfe -

Thank you, It opened Kate...where can I find the file?
Also, the terminal has some error messages, any problems you can see?

Also, alt F2 had no effect, I just opened the Konsole...same difference?Comment

alt-f2 should open krunner, the run-command box, but a terminal is fine
You can ignore the messages, they don't mean anything useful. (which is why I used the alt-f2 instead of konsole )
Then, look at comment #4 from the first link in my past for the location of the file
to 'comment out' a line, you just add a hash ("#") to the beginning of a line
to 'uncomment' you simply remove that hash.
so basically you are just moving the hash from the epson line to the epson2 line in that fileComment

I appreciate your help, claydoh!
I see the line "/etc/sane.d/dll.conf", but still don't know where to find this. I also have xsane.Comment

Found it will let you know.Comment

xsane is just a graphical front-end to sane, as are most linux scanning tools. this should enable the scanner for any of themComment

I edited the file, now hash is in front of epson2, and saved. I'm trying scanlite, simple scan and xsane and none can locate the scanner still...suggestions?
I really enjoy this OS, but I need my scanner!Comment

epson nx515
actually, we should verify that you have the same scanner as the OP. Things depend on make and model, and even one brand may use many different chipsets
what make/model is your scanner? if it isn't Epson Perfection 1650. you should start a new topic for it as the the instructions may be totally different.Comment

It's an Epson NX 515 all in one. When I was trying Ubuntu, it was recommended I do the same thing, but it didn't work there either.
I wonder if I didn't save the edited file correctly, as now I get this error message (snapshot)

Where should the dll.conf file reside?Comment

Also have visited the Avasys site, where they suggest I install this, but don't quite understand the instructions for installing, Epson-Stylus_NX515-pipslite-en.ppd, Are you familiar with ppd?Comment

I'm also told I should download this file, but can't find it.
pipslite_1.4.0-3_i386.deb
Again, your help is greatly appreciated!Comment

no, the file dll.conf should be left in /etc/sane.d/ , somehow you saved it to your home directory, I don't know why it is even looking for a file in that location. But it cant read the file because you saved it in your home dir, but as you saved it while using sudo, it does not have the correct permissions or ownerships. first lets delete that file in konsole:
Code:sudo rm -rf /home/harlan/etc/
