Problem 2 is that the scanner doesn't even check in as shown above.
OTOH, I also have an Epson 1250u that works flawlessly, but it would
be nice to get rid of one rather high occupancy item here in the
coyote.den.

and this is the strange part: why does it not show the scanner? What
does lsusb return? Does the scanner work under Windows? Not that it
matters much as the scanner seems not supported by Sane right now. But
maybe this is just a matter of adding the usb id....

Louis

The scanner does show in an lsusb -v, but not without the -v, here is a
snippet:

Thanks.

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.....


Good luck|

Louis

These drivers from

http://avasys.jp/eng/linux_driver/

are not of the greatest, so keep check for Gutenprint-cups drivers they do
very good drivers.

Do a yum install gutenprint-cups and see if your printer is in the Printer
selection chart

Unforch:
Package gutenprint-cups-5.2.4-4.fc10.i386 already installed and latest
version

Because if I had my druthers, only gutenprint would ever be installed, all
the others are just so much noise in the cups driver list.

Thanks.
