To use it :
Install this packages with yum :
xsane, sane-backends, sane-frontends, xsane-gimp (to use xsane directly in gimp)
You can check if there packages are already installed with this command :
rpm - qa |grep -i name_of_the_package , for eg : rpm -qa | grep -i sane
After this, you have to download the firmware of the scanner. IT'S ONLY FOR THE EPSON PERFECTION 1670 OR EPSON PERFECTION 1670 PHOTO.
You can find it here (http://deuch.free.fr/ESFW30.BIN) .
Copy this file in /usr/share/epson.
Now, as root, edit this file : /etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf
You will find, at the beginning this line :
firmware /path/to/your/firmware/file.bin
change it to :
firmware /usr/share/epson/ESFW30.BIN
Save it and close it.
Now plug your scanner in a usb port.
To check if your scanner is recognize try this commands :
lsusb
sane-find-scanner
scanimage -L
If it's OK, in a console, run xsane like this : xsane &
It might be a little time to launch because firmware have to be uploaded to the scanner.
Have Fun !!
P.S : I'm not a specialist ine photography and i'm searching a good tuto to reduce the "moiré" effect when i scan a image (with gimp or directly tuning with scan parameters). I don't know the word in english, a picture would be better :-)
