I suggest to keep an eye on
http://avasys.jp/eng/linux_driver/
these guys make some linux drivers for Epson devices (they are in some
way related to Epson). I see that they already have Imagescan for the
NX415 (actually Image Scan! for Linux & Photo Image Print System Lite)
Click on the download for "all in ones", select the NX415 and of you
go.....
And that's what I had to do, I have a CX7400, I installed the avasys package
for
FC6 (when that was current) and used iscan as the program, since it will do what
I want and give me a PPM image I can modify as needed, using the netpbm package
tools and some I wrote using their libraries.
