Scanning under Fedora

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I've been unable to get scanning working on any Fedora system, although I have had no similar problems on Slackware, and associates report success with MEPIS and Ubuntu. I have an Epson USB scanner, which is recognized, and I put the firmware in the proper directory, but after starting and the scanner is found. However, after uploading the firmware the device freezes with an i/o error.

The scanner was tested on a friend's Windows box, it appears to be functional. Epson says Linux isn't supported but the firmware in the scanner should be fine, don't upload. I can't find a way to do that, since the sane complains if I comment out the firmware line.

Is there a Fedora-specific document somewhere, or should I take the path of least resistance and just go back to Slackware?
