Trouble with Sane, and Epson and Canon scanners (Solved)
Epson 1200
Hello Ive tried the correction for my epson 1200 scanner, the strange thing is
sane-find-scanner works,it recognized the epson 1200,but when i do the follow
up scanimage(Xsane) it doesn't recogonize the Epson. Stranger still is works with Mepis.
The diff between the distro's is the dir structure and the Epson libs are more
current in Mepis. One could change the libs in Puppy,don't know if this is the
right approach.Being new at Unix would I have to recompile the Kernel,or
use the Util depmod,insmod to include the updated libs. Right now I am
guessing as to how to fix this problem,any help would be appreciated
Maybe this a dumb question,but it would be dumb if one didn't ask

Re: Epson 1200
Those are the same symptoms I was having. Did you download and install the scanner.o.gz file that Barry posted? After that you then need to load the module. Also, what version of Puppy are you using?M_flower wrote:Hello Ive tried the correction for my epson 1200 scanner, the strange thing is

Hi thanks for responding , if I change the epsons libs to a latter version, do
I have to recompile the kernel ,that was my orignal question? or can I just
use the Utils depmod ect. Anyway I tried PcLinux os-81 a new distro and you guessed it ,the Epson 1200 worked. What the difference are don't know,well
keep you posted.
