Scanner: Epson Perfection V200 (tested) / V100 (not tested)
Distro: Kubuntu 6.06 LTS / 6.10 / 7.04 / 7.10
CPU: P4
Howto install as a local scanner.
----------------------------------------------
The following you must do as a root.
Step 1:
Install iscan (rpm's downloaded from www.avasys.jp/english/):
alien --scripts iscan-2.8.0-1.c2.i386.rpm
dpkg -i iscan_2.8.0-2_i386.deb
alien --scripts iscan-plugin-gt-f670-2.0.0-1.c2.i386.rpm
dpkg -i iscan-plugin-gt-f670_2.0.0-2_i386.deb
Step 2:
Add this entry to /etc/udev/rules.d/45-libsane.rules:
# Epson Perfection V200
SYSFS{idVendor}=="04b8", SYSFS{idProduct}=="012e", MODE="664", GROUP="scanner"
Remark (in case of V100): idProduct is "012d"
Step3:
Add this entry to /etc/sane.d/epkowa.conf (all other lines commented out):
usb 0x04b8 0x012e
Remark: vendorID=0x04b8, productID=0x012e
If epkowa.conf does not exist yet, create it.
/etc/sane.d/epson.conf can be removed.
Remark (in case of V100):
entry: usb 0x04b8 0x012d
productID=0x012d
Step 4:
Modify /etc/sane.d/dll.conf:
1) According to Avasys - Scanner FAQ:
.........
With your favourite text editor, open /etc/sane.d/dll.conf and comment out
the net backend by prefixing it with a '#'.
Before: net
After : #net
2) Add this entry: epkowa
Step 5: user must be member of group 'scanner'.
----------------------------------------------
Step 6: some tests
1) sane-find-scanner
2) scanimage -L
==> device `epkowa:libusb:004:005' is a Epson Perfection V200 flatbed scanner
(device-no. can differ)
Maybe you must logout/login or reboot PC before this takes effect.
Now you must be able to use 'iscan' in userspace.
And in GIMP 'Aquire Image --> iscan'.
For Epson Perfection V100, you will read another productID and name of device.
Bonus: xsane (preview & scan) is working too now.
Be Happy! :P
