I had tried all but it don't work under normal user, how can i get its support?

Under root it seem to be recognize by system, but Im not sure that it works correctly.

How can I configure it? and how can I get its support under normal user?

Plustek is one of the supported scanner groups by sane-backends. It comes as part of that package.

The userg_e.pdf isnt much help on installing iscan either.
Get the tar file for your scanner. Put it in your home directory. then do

I had the same problem.

You must write this line

usb /dev/usb/scanner0

in the epkowa.conf and not in the epson.conf then it should work

GeKA,

I thought it might need a epkowa.conf but its not in /etc/sane.d.
I created a symlink to the epson one ( which would have identical content) but that didin't help.

The epkowa lib files are in /usr/local/lib/sane so I have added symlinks in the more usual /usr/lib/sane too.

Any more pointers?

-YoShi-,

I've cracked it!.

Build and install the tarball as I detailed earlier, then

Do the following in /etc/sane.d
Edit the file dll.conf which is a list of backends, to add

IT WORK GREAT !!! THANK YOU

I had made my first image scanning under linux OS

But now I have 2 problems.

First -> Mi DIA reader doesn't work (and I need that), I don't know why...it doesn't work

And Second problem is regard Hotplug.

If I start my system with scanner not connect typing lsmod --> scanner is not present. It's not plugged

. I plug scanner to usb and /dev/usb/scanner0 link will be create, scanner module will be autoload -> scanner work.

If I disconnect my scanner /dev/usb/scanner0 will remove, but scanner module will not uncharge.
And if I type "rmmod scanner" my console crash. I had tried to force unload but it always crash.

I had also tried to restart Hotplug (after I have disconnect the scanner) but it crash.

-YoShi-,

I'm glad your scanner works - it works for me too.

I don't know what a DIA reader is. Can you explain some more and provide a model number that I can look up on Google?

Some modules may not be unloaded. I don't know if usbscanner is one of those or not. Do you really need the 10kb of memory that unloading that module frees up?
If not - don't worry about it.

I Have Solved ALL Thank you !

Before follow your "user guide"

I had unmerge all (sane-backend, xsane,delete iscan folder, delete all sane.d folder) and after I have remerge all/compile iscan following your guide and now all works.

P.S. I have had to remove hotplug because it caused to some type of conflict between ALSA, libusb and the modules of the scanner.

Thanks truly a lot, without your aid I would be still to the job, If you had to pass from Milan, sends a PM to me that I will offer one beer to you
