![]() ![]() Convert the firmware rpm archive into a tgz package.Build scripts can be retrieved on the net from Iscan and components build scriptsĪfter successfully downloading the scripts, the following steps are needed in order to build the Iscan components: Slackware Users owning an Epson scanner should build their own packages. Iscan software packages for a Slackware Linux system do not exist. Whoever were in need of a 64 bit software version should look for later releases release 2.25 will be the subject of a future article. The two former components are provided by Avasys in binary only form and only for 32 bit architectures. Proprietary drivers, another way to say software libraries meant to drive the hardware after the firmware was uploaded.Image Scan releases 2.11, 2.8 and earlier are made of 3 distinct components: 1.3 Proprietary Drivers Rpm Archive Conversion.We'll assume that both the sane and xsane packages are installed and properly functioning. A future article will provide an insight about Image Scan release 2.25 which introduced support to 64 bit architectures and as such is the ideal candidate for install on Slackware 13.0 and 13.1.Īll tests for the present paper were performed on an Epson "Perfection v200 Photo" scanner. More recent releases exist, but 2.11 works fine on any 32 bit Slackware system up to "current". ![]() Iscan version 2.11 will be installed and configured on a Slackware system in this paper. Maybe that's because binary packages are provided for free but without any form of support and, when things go bad, all users have are their troubleshooting skills. Installing Iscan on a "not supported" Linux distribution, anything other than Fedora or Debian, is possible, but it has always been kind of an adventure. Many Epson scanners work under Linux only by mean of Iscan and it's related Avasys provided proprietary drivers. It's an Avasys Corporation product useful to obtain high quality images with Epson scanners or multifunction laser/inkjet printers. Iscan is the short form for Image Scan a scanner utility that runs under Linux. Welcome to Simone Giustetti's wiki pages. ![]()
