Just tried plugging my scanner into the fc5t3 machine. Can't get it to do a thing.
The scanner is an Epson Perfection 2450 Photo, connected to USB.
There is no scanner entry in the graphics menu, and when I run command xsane nothing happens.
I also installed iscan, which says "Could not send command to scanner. Check the scanner's status"
The scanner appears in /dev/ as scanner-usbdev1.x
Any ideas for me to try?
I also have an Epson 2450 scanner and running it on FC5T3. I use the driver that I was using under FC4 (esfw41.bin is from a windoze distro).
In my case I happen to load esfw4esfw41.bin in file in my /root/downloads directory, so I made an edit to /etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf to provide a link to the driver firmware /root/downloads/esfw41.bin
Hope this gets you going.
