The epkowa driver provided by media-gfx/iscan needs proprietary plugins for several EPSON scanner models. This one supports the Epson Perfection V350 Photo scanner (it's possible that it supports others as well). The ebuild works for me with the iscan-2.20.0.ebuild from bug 248898 that I added. I used the ebuild in bug 274625 for reference. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: This should also work for x86.

(In reply to comment #9) Bob, Most likely you still have snapscan set up in dll.conf. Just comment out the snapscan line in dll.conf.
> Most likely you still have snapscan set up in dll.conf. Just comment out the > snapscan line in dll.conf. I commented out *everything* but epkowa in dll.conf. Same results. # scanimage -L device `epkowa:usb:001:002' is a Epson (unknown model) flatbed scanner device `epkowa:interpreter:001:002' is a Epson Perfection 4490 flatbed scanner
(In reply to comment #11) Bob, After trying to duplicate the issue, I can't. But, here are some thing to try: 1. In the epkowa.conf file, comment out everything but the top usb line (should be just usb on the line with nothing else). 2. Try unplugging the scanner from the usb port, wait till the scanner settles down, and and then re-plug in. 3. Make sure there is only one line in /var/lib/lib/iscan/interpreter. Also, by looking through your posts on the forums it looks as if you had tried this setup before. Maybe you have a conflict in a file somewhere with the previous attempts. Anyway, hopefully one of the suggestions above will fix the issue... ;)
> After trying to duplicate the issue, I can't. > > 1. In the epkowa.conf file, comment out everything but the top usb line > (should be just usb on the line with nothing else). That got me down to a single one. Before I had usb 0x04b8 0x0119, which previous attempts required, to find the scanner at all. scanimage -T now passes. Alas it sounds like the scanner is binding up, again. :-( I'll never buy an other Epson scanner after this mess. Thank you for your help, at least it seems the software issue is resolved. > 3.

(In reply to comment #13) Bob, Glad I could help. And, I understand about the Epson scanners (I have a V350 myself).
> Created an attachment (id=197457) [details] > Proposed ebuild for binary plugin for epkowa scanner driver (Perfection > V10/V100) I confirm the gt-s600 ebuild working with Perfection V10, however the library name in iscan-registry calls needs to be corrected to libesint66 (instead of libesint7A).
Works perfectly here with media-gfx/iscan-2.21.0 This has been really painful before, I was only able to use the scanner via a virtual ubuntu or opensuse. Really really glad that this is now not necessary anymore, thanks! Btw, there's a typo in the elog: Is: elog "Firmware file esfw68.bin for Epson Perfection V350" elog "PHOTO has been installed in /usr/share/iscan and" elog "regestered for use" Should be: elog "Firmware file esfw68.bin for Epson Perfection V350" elog "PHOTO has been installed in /usr/share/iscan and" elog "registered for use" Thanks again, I hope this one will make it to the tree soon!

(In reply to comment #8) > Created an attachment (id=197459) [details] > Proposed ebuild for binary plugin for epkowa scanner driver (Perfection 4490) How may I test this plugin? I didn't understood how to use the .ebuild file. If I try the ebuild program on it, it complains saying that it does "not seem to have a valid PORTDIR structure." I have a Perfection 4490 scanner. It seems to be recognised by "sane-find-scanner": --- found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x0119 [EPSON Scanner]) at libusb:001:006 --- and "scanimage -L" takes a long time before saying: --- device `epkowa:usb:001:006' is a Epson (unknown model) flatbed scanner --- but "iscan" says (also after a long time): --- "Floating point exception" --- Thanks in advance for any advice.
(In reply to comment #29) @bli@quatramaran.ens.fr: Check the Gentoo wiki page for a local ebuild repository at: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Overlay#Creating_a_local_overlay It also explains what to do with the ebuild to make it usable. Hope this helps... ;)
(In reply to comment #30) > http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Overlay#Creating_a_local_overlay > > It also explains what to do with the ebuild to make it usable. > > Hope this helps... ;) Thank you. I hadn't heard about this overlay system. I can now use the Perfection 4490 (but iscan segfaults if I try to scan in pdf or in jpg, and the scanner must be turned off an on in order to be usable again).
Epson Perfection V200: ebuild iscan-plugin-gt-f670-2.1.0.ebuild digest !!! /usr/portage/local/local-overlay/media-gfx/iscan-plugin-gt-670/iscan-plugin-gt-f670-2.1.0.ebuild does not seem to have a valid PORTDIR structure. Did put in firmware epkowa-backend by hand: /var/log/messages: (think here is something missing - no Epson string output) [60763.192718] usb 2-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4 [60763.309473] usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice lsusb: Bus 002 Device 004: ID 04b8:012e Seiko Epson Corp. scanimage -L: device `epkowa:usb:002:004' is a Epson (unknown model) flatbed scanner /etc/sane.d/epkowa.conf firmware /usr/share/iscan/esfw7A.bin usb 0x04b8 0x012e
(In reply to comment #32) Your directory for the ebuild, iscan-plugin-gt-670, must match the name of the ebuild, iscan-plugin-gt-f670 (your missing the letter f in your directory name). Once you correct that and remove any hand modifications that you have done, the ebuild emerged will setup everything for you automatically. Hope this helps... ;)
Thank You. Now I stuck between floatingpoint exception and Could not connect to scanner. Check the scanner status. Back to your ebuild. emerged process was fine. There is an epkowa entry at the end of dll.conf. But grep -nr esfw7A.bin /etc/sane.d/ gave no result for me. scanimage -L did not detect the scanner. So I had to manually add the firmware line and the vendor id to /etc/sane.d/epkowa.conf for scanimage detection. pkg_postinst() { # Needed for scaner to work properly. iscan-registry --add interpreter usb 0x04b8 0x012e ${MY_LIB}/iscan/libesint7A /usr/share/iscan/esfw7A.bin Which file should contain this entry, if not /etc/sane.d/epkowa.conf?
ok, have found the entry in /usr/local/var/lib/iscan/interpreter. Did clean everything and did a fresh install of sane-backend, iscan and iscan-plugin-gt-f670, but scanimage -L does not find the scanner. sane-find-scanner can see it.
(In reply to comment #35) Interesting that you have the interpreter file in /usr/local/var/lib and not in /var/lib. That might be a file leftover from your last install, it should not be there. You might have to verify that there are no leftover files from the last install in /usr/local. The only other suggestions I can make is: 1. Verify in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf that epkowa is the only line uncommented. 2. Verify in /etc/sane.d/epkowa.conf that usb is the only line uncommented. 3. Verify in /var/lib/lib/iscan/interpreter (at least this is where the interpreter file is for me) that it contains "interpreter usb 0x04b8 0x012d /usr/lib/iscan/libesint66 /usr/share/iscan/esfw66.bin" if on a 32bit system or interpreter usb 0x04b8 0x012d /usr/lib/iscan/libesint66 /usr/share/iscan/esfw66.bin if on a 64bit system. Hope this helps... ;)

Sorry, I was looking at the wring file at the time... The interpreter line should be either "interpreter usb 0x04b8 0x012e /usr/lib/iscan/libesint7A /usr/share/iscan/esfw7A.bin" or "interpreter usb 0x04b8 0x012e /usr/lib64/iscan/libesint7A /usr/share/iscan/esfw7A.bin" Hope this helps... ;)
device `epkowa:interpreter:001:002' is a Epson Perfection V200 flatbed scanner :-) it was a problem with the interpreter file. I did a fresh install again, but there was no interpreter file at /var/lib/lib/iscan/ Copying it from /usr/local/var/lib/iscan/ into /var/lib/lib/iscan/ did it. Thank You very much.

Thanks for pointer, i had change overlay for layman 1.3 and so local overlay not found. Now i have it installed but nether iscan or xscan find scanner but scanimage does and scanner responds # scanimage -L device `epkowa:interpreter:001:006' is a Epson Perfection 4490 flatbed scanner I have checked and set all the files as previously mentioned in this thread.
(In reply to comment #41) Do you get any errors when you run the iscan or xscan programs from the command line?
No errors from iscan other than 'could not send command to scanner. check scanner status.' xsane reports no scanner available as does vuescan. cheers
(In reply to comment #43) > No errors from iscan other than 'could not send command to scanner. check > scanner status.' > > xsane reports no scanner available as does vuescan. > > cheers > This might sound retarded, but try unplugging the usb cable on the scanner from your puter while it's on and then plugging it back in.
(In reply to comment #44) > (In reply to comment #43) I would also add unplugging the scanner from power.
Hello, yep tried unplugging, was thing i did, also rebooted a well but still the same.
(In reply to comment #46) The only other thing that I can suggest is that you verify that your user is in the scanner group. If not that, then what happens when you run iscan as root?
:( was not in scanner groups, how did i miss that? Thanks for help.
Created attachment 231405 [details] iscan-plugin-gt-x820-2.1.0.ebuild (Perfection V600 Photo driver)
I vote for Jared to be hero of the day - very timely submission: just got my V600 and proposed iscan-plugin-gt-x820-2.1.0.ebuild worked great so far - xsane and iscan are both working beautifully... in combination with bug #302624 where I just bumped iscan version to 2.24.0 without any visible problems so far.
*** Bug 334337 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Matthew called my attention on this bug... I (obviously) lack the hardware to test all of this, but I know now how the thing ought to work (since I have the gt-s50) and I would be able to help maintaining the ebuild side of them. So who's up to proxy-maintain which ebuild? :) And before submitting any of them, please re-look at the gt-s80 ebuild in tree, since that's how they should be done, the f720 was quite a bit rough on the edges.
Created attachment 273033 [details] iscan-plugin-gt-x770-2.1.2.1.ebuild Since I have an Epson V500 scanner, I'll volunteer to proxy maintain the gt-x770 package. Here's an updated ebuild using a newer version and fixed up to be more like iscan-plugin-gt-s80. I tried to put the firmware file in /opt but the scanner was not recognized unless I put it in /usr/share/iscan.

The ebuild is now in gentoo sunrise. Look for any updates on that ebuild there.
Created attachment 286027 [details] media-gfx/iscan-plugin-gt-x820-2.1.2.ebuild Update for the V600 driver. Only real change was updating the SRC_URI. I'll be happy to be a proxy-maintainer if it'll help get this into portage.
This ended up in trouble. Please submit the bugs separately (although most seem to have already a split bug open), and poke me directly by mail if I miss your proxy maintainership request.
Newbie here, coudn't find the specific thread... Perfection 4490 Photo media-gfx/iscan-plugin-gt-x750 Ebuild for binary plugin isn't working anymore, since the link to the rpm was changed, and now it downloads a html file. Workaround: * Install iscan, sane-backend epkowa and rpm. * Download the iscan-plugin from http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/ * install with rpm -ivh -nodeps <rpm.file>

Hi, Kromitvs. A separate bug was filed for the transfer of driver hosting from Avasys to Epson, which is the cause of the problem you described. You can read the details in bug 455776. Also discussed in that bug is the solution that Diego and I came up with to address the problem, as well as a few example plugin ebuilds in the new preferred format. If you'd like to take a crack at updating the x750 plugin ebuild to use that new format, I'm sure Diego would appreciate that and it'd make it much easier for him to add it to the tree. You also might want to post it as a new bug, as it looks like this one is considered closed and probably won't get much attention.
